I was born in 1954, one of six. This video took me back, remembering Mom who only wore face powder and red lipstick. First thing in the morning, she quickly groomed. In summertime, she wore sleeveless blouses and shorts, all cotton, so Mom ironed most days. Thank you, Kristina, for your lovely, love-filled videos.
All her life my grandma had the habit of quieting the house every evening. Dishes done and put away, surfaces cleared, curtains drawn. After that point, it was personal time to wind down, and no more work was done. Now that I have a place of my own, the whole routine seems comforting.
This is the first time I am leaving completely on my own at 48 and trying to develop a routine for me. I have to keep reminding myself I'm here alone no kids to cook for or getting up to go buy milk because I forgot the night before.
“From a lovely bride to a disheveled wife” sounds like it could be the title of this particular chapter of my life😂. I just wanted to tell you how much you have helped me feel better in my own body! It’s so strange how we just soak up some attitudes from the internet without even knowing, that’s why it’s really precious to see such a good example! ❤
Born in 1946, I saw this routine done by just about all the ladies on the street. The ones who went to the beat of a different drummer were not seen as 'gòod' housekeepers. Homes were much cleaner back then. Mom worked at home. Families only had 1 car. My grandkids ask 'what did you do with no tablets, only 1 radio, 1 phone in the hall?' Kids had adventures every day. We played outside,had friends, climbed trees, walked lots. I did not feel deprived. Women prided themselves on Mondays with the 1st wash hung on the line ' the whitest sheets. Routines organized daily jobs and you felt a sense of accomplishment.
Thank you for a nice video. I lived it being born in 1954. Got to see my mom always buzzing around the house and we had 7 people in our family. Our house was never perfect.
I grew up in the 1950’s with a family of seven and one bathroom. No one had AC. We never ate out, my mother cooked and baked. Laundry was hung on the clothesline. We had one tv and one car. As the decades pass it seems like families think they “need more and more.” Unfortunately to afford all of these “needs” both parents have to work. My mother always looked nice. Back then folks would not dream of going out in pajama pants! Although some ladies actually shopped with brushed rollers in their hair, covered with a scarf.
Kristina, so sorry to hear about your unexpected repairs. With the cost of everything these days it’s never fun to have that kind of surprise. I am not one to comment often but wanted to thank you for these vintage routines. These days we have bigger and bigger houses with more “stuff” and it’s not always easy to keep it all tidy with a busy family. I love hearing these voices from the past telling us it is ok to take a nap or encouraging us to spend time with a hobby. It’s just such a great reminder.
I absolutely love your videos! I’m a plus sized, neurodivergent, vintage enthusiast who has a hard time with cleaning and establishing routines. Your videos are super helpful! And I love that you don’t stage your home for the camera and instead show what real life looks like. Can’t wait to see what you come up with next!
Kristina, I enjoy your videos so much. I especially like to see you keeping house with the children and pets getting in the way. You just include them and let them "help," or in the case of the cat, you give him a little cuddle time. Thanks for keeping it real. Not staged. Not perfect. You spark more joy with your artistic character than an empty, gray modern apartment with minimal possessions.
Yes to all the 1950s content! I would love to see a week of 1950s meals. Your home is so lovely. And your sweet, sleepy kitty is so cute. Thanks for leaving the clip with the headwrap in. I always wondered how to do that. ❤
I learned about the curtain opening quite by accident as I’m not a 1950’s housewife. A 1950’s wife moved in across the road (I’m in the country), as I’ve done for years I get up and immediately open the front door so my dog can go out through his doggy door. Before 7AM the new neighbor knocked on my screen door and entered. She said I saw that your door was open so I came right over. She stayed for almost 2 hours! I had to be rude to get her to leave as I needed to get ready for work. For over two years after that, I never kept my door open in the morning. The 1st time I saw this 1950’s routine I understood why she thought it ok to come uninvited. 😂 I wish there was something like this when I was raising my children. I really struggled with keeping a clean house for many years. Lists really helped me. I too put everything in one place, then sorted to put away. One time my exceptionally clean, organized, and skinny friend popped over. I was so embarrassed! I had everything in the middle of the living room floor ready to be sorted. Our house is VERY small. She said, “What are you doing?” It certainly didn’t make me feel good about my overweight, messy self. Now, my children are grown and my house is neat and tidy. I love it when my grandkids come over and mess it up! Thank you for showing what a normal house looks like! Lived in and full of love!!!
He’s the dumbest cat we’ve ever had 😂 He can have a full water dish and still knock over every vase, mug, or cup that might have water in it just to drink that instead
@@WithLoveKristinahe must be an orange kitty. All orange kitty's share a singular brain cell and it must be taking a long time for it to be his turn with it 😂❤
@@WithLoveKristinamine also did this until I gave her a transparent pyrex bowl to drink out of. That way she can see better if the water is up to her standards and I don't have water all over anymore. Your cat might just be very picky when it comes to drinking. 😅
Hi Kristina! I've been watching your videos for a couple weeks now. I'm 32 and live in a house that is 6000sqft in rural Alabama, the house was built in 1904! As someone who grew up with a single mother that head mental health disorders, I did not learn to keep house. No kids yet (maybe someday) but this house has been a huge undertaking. I just want to thank you for putting out these videos showing a modern day woman taking care of her family and home. For showing it's not all sunshine and rainbows but you cant have rainbows without rain! With your videos and the help of an app that I found, I'm getting a routine down to keep this house clean but welcoming! Thank you 🥰💖
I remember hearing somewhere that when you would open your curtains (after cleaning) it was a way of letting your neighbors know that you’re open to having company! Not sure how accurate that was, but it sounds like a lovely idea! I loved this (and all) your videos, thank you!! 💜🫶
Don't forget you also reorganised your dining room - twice! That looks like quite a lot of work in a morning. I loved the quote from the book. And on that note this 'dishevelled wife' had better get on with her day 😂😂
Believe it or not, my cat was actually ALLERGIC to flowers! I took him to the vet to figure out what was wrong with him, and he was like’ “Oh he has allergies and considering the season, it’s the pollen.” And I had to put drops in his nose every morning, and from that point he was fine, but I had to have fake flowers from then on. 😢😂
I was born in 1968, the youngest of three, and I grew up with a lot of this.🥰 My mom was a ‘50’s bride, and held onto those useful and beautiful housewares and habits. I love seeing all these vintage things, and your home is so warm and full of character and love!❤. Nowadays, with minimalism and plainness being all the rage, people’s homes look institutional!😅. You’re such a lovely lady, thank you for sharing and being an inspiration.🌷
Since you said you have issues with your cat knocking over your vases, you could try museum putty! It's made for museums to stop things from falling during earthquakes, but it's a godsend for folks with cats!
The meals series would be fun. This cleaning routine was great to watch. My mom, a 50's housewife, did not model this lifestyle. Our home was never that neat or clean, but we ALWAYS had a good dinner. Like her, I dont like to clean, yet I want a clean, tidy house, so I've learned a few routines of my own over the years. I hope you find your own rhythm.
I was married in 1977. My housekeeping changed when I discovered the Sidetracked Home Executive system. To this day, I can’t work without lace up shoes on my feet, LOL! The best part is that when my shies come off after dinner, my whole brain and body knows it’s time to relax. 😊
I would totally read your 200,000 word novel! ♥ Your sponsorship spots are just as genuine, darling, and charming as your prepared content. I love seeing your vintage collections in use throughout your home.
I love your red refrigerator! We have red microwave and coffee pot. Our house was built in 1922 and one of the counters in our kitchen is red too. Its original. I never want to change it, even if other people hate it, i love it. We are only the 4th owner, and we bought the house from my inlaws...so, its my wifes childhood home. We have updated a few things out of necessity, but keep to the 1922 feel. I really like your video's and your home. People raised big families in small homes. I think people have lost touch on what its like to just be " normal " for lack of a better word. Sharing bedrooms growing up was completely normal! Having a baby in the parents bedroom for long periods of time was normal, I read a parenting book from the 30s that said having a baby sleep in a dresser drawer near the mother was perfectly exceptable when a crib or bassinet were not available. We ( as a society) have gotten way to bougie! I love how you are taking things back to a simpler time and way of life.
I have that Betty Crocker cookbook. I love it. It was my mother's and is falling apart. Would love to see some vintage inspired cooking. Your cleaning videos are inspiring.
Would love a series on 1950’s cooking. Great video. So sorry about all the repairs. Ugh. As far as the grapefruit, a lot of us can’t have because of our blood pressure meds. I really miss it.
What fun!! We really need to know how to house keep. I'm 75 & resisted housekeeping my whole life and always made things harder than they actually were! Thanks for your tips!!
I so enjoy your videos! As a mom of 5, and I’m positive I would be diagnosed neurodivergent today (I’m 43), I struggle with staying on task as well as just being so overwhelmed that I don’t know where to start. I NEED lists and schedules to keep me going and seeing your videos is so refreshing. It’s wonderful to see someone be honest and yet very encouraging. Praying for your repairs and your family.
I'd be interested in a recipe/menu video, but I'd also be interested in seeing you try one of these routines for a longer period of time - maybe a week or two? - to see how well they work over a longer period and with some non-daily tasks included.
I could watch your content for hours! So, I vote yes to cooking content. Also, a question for you. Do you do canning at all? I would watch that too!!! Love you Kristina.
The 1950s breakfast/lunch/dinner is a great idea! I actually love grapefruit 😅🤣Also, there really is something to that notion of fixing yourself up a bit before starting a day of housework or fixing breakfast on weekend! I definitely feel less disheveled!💄🥿
Rewatching some of my favorites of your videos. Just wanted to say that I love you robe/housecoat. Stunning...as usual. :~) Wish I could like this twice...but that's not a thing.
I remember my Mom during the 1950’s, wore a sundress or skirt and blouse, when she was home taking care of the house and cooking meals , along with flat loafers or sandles in the Summer. I don’t EVER remember my Mom or her neighborhood friends tying a RAG around their hair, unless they were sanding furniture or so either dusty, dirty work . And when she went to the Supermarket, during the week, she wore the skirt/ blouse , house dress or sundress that she wore at home. ALWAYS dressed with nice suit, or dress ,heels, hose gloves and hat with neat jewelry. And what so many women today don’t understand, is that in being fugal, and cooking almost meals at home, sewing, clipping coupons etc, women did not work outside of the home like they do today. And being the SMART women, with the “skills of an Engineer”. They knew how to get things done , and organize their time, where they could go shopping with a friend, go to a Stanley Home party or the newest craze, The Tupperware party. They knew how to get part of the evening Supper done in the am, then the rest when they got back from a visit with friends.Nowdays, so many young women could stay home, if they learned how to budget, save on not having expensive work wardrobes, child care or even that expensive to maintain 2ed car. I’m guilty, too, but we have gotten used to every newest gadget, new f angeled appliance, that we almost have to have. 2 fully employed people. I was definately my happiest when I took care of the home, and my children, and didn’t have to shuffle home and full time work which left me totally exausted. Wes!!!!!!!!!!!
Another amazing video 🥰 I'm curious if you ever consider making a video on vintage/vintage inspired wedding guest outfits? (Maybe with a focus on plus size / mid size) I'm going to a wedding in Washington this summer and struggling to to find pieces that fit my body, style, and the vibe of a summer wedding. (Thanks in advance for considering this request) 💜
Every time I clean, I play one of your vintage cleaning routine videos, so I’m excited to see a new one! Yes, I would love some videos on 1950s breakfast, lunch, dinner, etc 😊
Kristine You cleaning videos are transforming. I see a huge difference, but then your baby is one now and probably will be more mobile 😮 That makes it a challenge without having to film. You house looks great. I've been watching your channel for over a year probably since you had your last baby. I like you and feel we could sit and have a coffee and chat for hours. When I had little one so many Mons worked outside home. I'm happy to see women like you making sacrifices everyday to be full time Moms. It's a lot harder than people realize. You are the strongest. I understand the financial challenge in this day and age to be a one income family. I hope you have extended family near by to support you. Can I ask what book that menu plan was in that you pointed to in this video. I'd love to search for a copy. Please let me know. Just one of your cheer leaders. Lisa
My dad was in processing of along payments on his1950s house. He passed away last November. This is his old account. My name is nina n I love nostalgic stuff wish i could make this house that way again with kitchen item especially
Love your videos! Have you considered looking into schools for teaching this kind of thing? What you're teaching is social history, so it could help children/people could get a better understanding of what things were like 'back then', as well as learning names and dates...just a thought
Hey. I never thought to watch a video themed "cleaning Routine"...moreover 1950 . But I do. Voluntarily! And I spotted, that I already do some of this stuff, like collecting things in a basket. 🎉. But the part with "put it in the right spot, or even the "Routine" let me struggle every time. I love your content of being you. You seem to be such a lovely person. ❤
Cats can be really funny about water! Mine used to stick her paw into any drinking glasses left our and lick the water off. So gross. We got her a cat fountain, since apparently most cats prefer running water, and she has mostly stopped now! Might be a hot tip for you and your kitty. The fountains can be pretty inexpensive too. :)
Please consider posting the same as an afternoon / evening routine! Would love to see that with your adjustments for kids (we have 4 ages 8 & under). Thank you for sharing this content.
Where do you live? Once you opened the curtains it looked cold outside. BTW I love your videos. Routines that my grandmother did and still are so comforting.
I just found your TH-cam channel today was the first day I watched your videos the first one was the 1940s clean and I actually downloaded the book now I'd like to thank you because you are the only one I've ever seen it has his own somewhat the same size as mine very small. If I remember correctly in my house is somewhat 840 to 900 square feet something to that effect no attic no basement. I was widowed for 9 years moved into his house and it's extremely small leave me all these tips come in handy
I recently discovered your channel and love the cleaning routines. But as a mom of 3, youngest being a clingy toddler, how do you manage it? I can’t complete some tasks because she is always wanting to be held.
Hello Kristina, so good to see you did another video. It’s funny because I’ve been cleaning and laundry today and now you make a video about cleaning. I think it was easier back then because I didn’t have all the junk we have now. Do you have a wonderful day and thanks for the video.😊
How tall are you? You seem tall. I’m not and have height jealousy. Always love your videos! Hope to read a novel from you one day! (Hopefully on kindle unlimited)
Hello! I found you on Instagram a few months ago but only started watching more of your videos just recently. Everything I've watched so far I love! You are a wonderful and amazing human and thank you for sharing your research and ND tricks and thank you for being brave and vulnerable with us too. So often we see curated homes and yours says "Humans live here. Big Humans, 5 little humans, and two cats live here in this small house." Which feels so much more realistic and relatable. So thank you for sharing your life with us! 💖
As a neurodivergent grandmother I am sssooo happy I found you! This channel has been so encouraging to me and to my daughter. Please don't change in any way. We love you as you are. God bless.
I wonder if there are any resources out there for vintage cleaning routines for people with jobs outside of the house; I love watching these videos and trying to take what I can from them, but sometimes it can be frustrating when I don't want to dedicate my only day off a week to hours of cleaning, and I need to find more ways to clean-as-I-go when I am rushing in the morning/recovering from the day at night.
Hello again Kristina! As always, I am absolutely thrilled to get a notification when one of your videos goes up. Hearing your voice is like hearing from an old friend I haven't talked to in ages. You are always so relatable and down to earth, and your content brings me joy. I love seeing you take care of your cozy home, mess and all. Sorry to hear things haven't been going your way, and I hope this helps!
Love your cleaning videos and love love loved your daily working from one side to the other side of your wardrobe on instagram. Kristina so glad I found your channel .
liking and commenting! This one for some reason really seemed adoptable; I need to set up some kind of daily routine and mornings would be the best time but dang I hate waking up
As a ND person myself i have routines for everything, i couldnt function without them! I also love how in the 50s they made routines for mothers/women to follow i find it so interesting
Your living room looks stunning after the organization of the books, the wallpaper and rearranging of the furniture. I loove the look of full/messy bookcases but after the intentional decluttering and organasation it just looks wonderfully hobbity/ narnian!
Hey there! So happy to have just found your channel and subscribed!! ❤ I can see that I have lots to catch up on and am excited to binge watch soon! Just curious…what made you have a vintage bent? 😃 🌷
I've always loved old things, so I think it just sort of grew from loving antiques and vintage (my dad also loves old things) into wanting to wear retro styles back in 2009 or so when I started fashion blogging into realizing I love vintage and trying to wear more and more vintage now!
A word about contact paper. Mostly, it costs less than peel-n-stick tiles or epoxy. The are many videos on 'how to epoxy countertops in the kitchen for under $500,' but LaCheery 160"x36" in gray green marble contact paper cost $50 (Amzn). Veelike 15.74"x118.11" in Pink Marble $11.89. When I rented, I once had an ugly 4 ft bathroom vanity, which I covered in contact paper. Years later I visited someone who rented that same apt and the landlords had left the contact paper on it and it was still in great condition, so contact paper does hold up well.

I was born in 1955 and the youngest of six too. I wear face powder and red lipstick just like my Mom.
My mom always had an ironing basket. I refuse to iron unless it’s 100% necessary. That’s what dryers are for.
All her life my grandma had the habit of quieting the house every evening. Dishes done and put away, surfaces cleared, curtains drawn. After that point, it was personal time to wind down, and no more work was done. Now that I have a place of my own, the whole routine seems comforting.

I so enjoy your videos! A series on 1950's-inspired breakfasts, lunches and dinners would be amazing! Thank you. ❤
Yay! I’m already drafting menus!
Yes - this would be fun!
Agreed! 😊
Yes, I would enjoy vintage 1950's menus. Love your channel ❤️
It’s interesting to see what was “the norm” in past decades.
I think the series of 1950's meals would be quite fun to watch!!! Thank you for sharing your life!

No, homes had less stuff in them in the forties and fifties.
I vote for 1950's-inspired meals !
Your videos are always a good moment.
Thank you for a nice video. I lived it being born in 1954. Got to see my mom always buzzing around the house and we had 7 people in our family. Our house was never perfect.
Thank you for saying this, most people who are children of families in this era and comment on my videos say I’m too messy to be 1950s 😂

Yes, these all apply to me, too. Seeing someone else who doesn't just breeze through the chores is helpful. I feel less alone.
Same! I love Kristina's vintage flair. Remi Clog's channel is great for the neurodivergent friendly cleaning!

My mom not only had special routine days, she had certain days to do things. She also had 6 kids. I was born in 53. Love your videos.thanks so much.
Yes! One of these days I'll get more into the specific days and what you do for them!
Believe it or not, my cat was actually ALLERGIC to flowers! I took him to the vet to figure out what was wrong with him, and he was like’ “Oh he has allergies and considering the season, it’s the pollen.” And I had to put drops in his nose every morning, and from that point he was fine, but I had to have fake flowers from then on. 😢😂

I think people have lost touch on what its like to just be " normal " for lack of a better word. Sharing bedrooms growing up was completely normal! Having a baby in the parents bedroom for long periods of time was normal, I read a parenting book from the 30s that said having a baby sleep in a dresser drawer near the mother was perfectly exceptable when a crib or bassinet were not available. We ( as a society) have gotten way to bougie! I love how you are taking things back to a simpler time and way of life.
Oh my goodness, I can't believe the baby is a year old already.
I would love to see those videos on the 1950 breakfast, lunch and dinner
I have that Betty Crocker cookbook. I love it. It was my mother's and is falling apart. Would love to see some vintage inspired cooking. Your cleaning videos are inspiring.
Would love a series on 1950’s cooking. Great video. So sorry about all the repairs. Ugh. As far as the grapefruit, a lot of us can’t have because of our blood pressure meds. I really miss it.
My 10 year old heard your voice when I turned this video on and she said "that's the strawberry lady!"
lol that is so cute!
Oh my goodness. That is the cookbook we had growing up. I love these kinds of video Kristina.Thank you.
What fun!!
We really need to know how to house keep. I'm 75 & resisted housekeeping my whole life and always made things harder than they actually were! Thanks for your tips!!
I so enjoy your videos! As a mom of 5, and I’m positive I would be diagnosed neurodivergent today (I’m 43), I struggle with staying on task as well as just being so overwhelmed that I don’t know where to start. I NEED lists and schedules to keep me going and seeing your videos is so refreshing. It’s wonderful to see someone be honest and yet very encouraging. Praying for your repairs and your family.
Me too. Now that my children are grown it is actually harder to stay on task.
I love your videos, your style and demeanor is so sweet and helpful, it's truly a joy getting to see you!
I'd be interested in a recipe/menu video, but I'd also be interested in seeing you try one of these routines for a longer period of time - maybe a week or two? - to see how well they work over a longer period and with some non-daily tasks included.
I'm a 90s baby but I am SO in love with vintage housekeeping books, aprons, the routines...
I'm a late 80s baby, and same xo
I could watch your content for hours! So, I vote yes to cooking content. Also, a question for you. Do you do canning at all? I would watch that too!!! Love you Kristina.
I sent you some money because we all need each other. We all go through hardships at some point in our lives. I appreciate the help you have given me.
Just wondering. Do you really still have a landline? I miss mine.
Ahahaah no it was just for fun! I needed more footage to cover that part of the voiceover and pulled the phone out for kicks
I was born in the fifties so videos on meals would be a gas (as they used to say)!
This is such a cute saying!
The 1950s breakfast/lunch/dinner is a great idea! I actually love grapefruit 😅🤣Also, there really is something to that notion of fixing yourself up a bit before starting a day of housework or fixing breakfast on weekend! I definitely feel less disheveled!💄🥿
Thanks for sharing this. I like the idea of a 1950s meals video series. Sorry about your unexpected repairs.
Hi Kristina always a pleasure watching your videos I love watching about the 50/60 and the 70s thrown in there take care much love possum ❤️😊
Rewatching some of my favorites of your videos. Just wanted to say that I love you robe/housecoat. Stunning...as usual. :~)
Wish I could like this twice...but that's not a thing.
❤ Hi! Good luck with the unexpected financial difficulties. Sending hugs (and a comment for the algorithm)!
I remember my Mom during the 1950’s, wore a sundress or skirt and blouse, when she was home taking care of the house and cooking meals , along with flat loafers or sandles in the Summer. I don’t EVER remember my Mom or her neighborhood friends tying a RAG around their hair, unless they were sanding furniture or so either dusty, dirty work . And when she went to the Supermarket, during the week, she wore the skirt/ blouse , house dress or sundress that she wore at home. ALWAYS dressed with nice suit, or dress ,heels, hose gloves and hat with neat jewelry. And what so many women today don’t understand, is that in being fugal, and cooking almost meals at home, sewing, clipping coupons etc, women did not work outside of the home like they do today. And being the SMART women, with the “skills of an Engineer”. They knew how to get things done , and organize their time, where they could go shopping with a friend, go to a Stanley Home party or the newest craze, The Tupperware party. They knew how to get part of the evening Supper done in the am, then the rest when they got back from a visit with friends.Nowdays, so many young women could stay home, if they learned how to budget, save on not having expensive work wardrobes, child care or even that expensive to maintain 2ed car. I’m guilty, too, but we have gotten used to every newest gadget, new f angeled appliance, that we almost have to have. 2 fully employed people. I was definately my happiest when I took care of the home, and my children, and didn’t have to shuffle home and full time work which left me totally exausted. Wes!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for physically showing how to measure. I struggle with that. I love everything you do. Plus your positivity & self non-shaming. Hugs
Aaaaaw❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.....am new here and I already love your content 😊.... much love from Kenya 🇰🇪
Another amazing video 🥰 I'm curious if you ever consider making a video on vintage/vintage inspired wedding guest outfits? (Maybe with a focus on plus size / mid size) I'm going to a wedding in Washington this summer and struggling to to find pieces that fit my body, style, and the vibe of a summer wedding. (Thanks in advance for considering this request) 💜
I love watching your videos before bed. They so relax me and make me feel safe and loved!
I am so so glad to hear that!
You're awesome at doing your daily stuff and having 5 kidlets and a hubby 😀
I get worn out watching your vids! Lol
Haha the more I do it the easier it is!
Every time I clean, I play one of your vintage cleaning routine videos, so I’m excited to see a new one! Yes, I would love some videos on 1950s breakfast, lunch, dinner, etc 😊
I truly enjoy all your videos Kristina! Oh I recognized the coffee mug, I have the same one from a pioneer woman! Much love to you and your family!! ❤
Kristine
You cleaning videos are transforming. I see a huge difference, but then your baby is one now and probably will be more mobile 😮 That makes it a challenge without having to film. You house looks great. I've been watching your channel for over a year probably since you had your last baby. I like you and feel we could sit and have a coffee and chat for hours. When I had little one so many Mons worked outside home. I'm happy to see women like you making sacrifices everyday to be full time Moms. It's a lot harder than people realize. You are the strongest. I understand the financial challenge in this day and age to be a one income family. I hope you have extended family near by to support you.
Can I ask what book that menu plan was in that you pointed to in this video. I'd love to search for a copy. Please let me know.
Just one of your cheer leaders.

My dad was in processing of along payments on his1950s house. He passed away last November. This is his old account. My name is nina n I love nostalgic stuff wish i could make this house that way again with kitchen item especially
Love your videos! Have you considered looking into schools for teaching this kind of thing? What you're teaching is social history, so it could help children/people could get a better understanding of what things were like 'back then', as well as learning names and dates...just a thought
I love watching your videos. Thank you so much for all the inspiration you give...
Hey. I never thought to watch a video themed "cleaning Routine"...moreover 1950 . But I do. Voluntarily! And I spotted, that I already do some of this stuff, like collecting things in a basket. 🎉. But the part with "put it in the right spot, or even the "Routine" let me struggle every time.
I love your content of being you. You seem to be such a lovely person. ❤
Your videos are always so wonderful. Thank you. Good luck with your septic field. That is never fun.
Cats can be really funny about water! Mine used to stick her paw into any drinking glasses left our and lick the water off. So gross. We got her a cat fountain, since apparently most cats prefer running water, and she has mostly stopped now! Might be a hot tip for you and your kitty. The fountains can be pretty inexpensive too. :)
Yes I am interested in anything vintage including food. I have struggled with being a housekeeper All of my life.
Such wonderful and drama free content! I love it 🌸 Be blessed sweet sweet Kristina 🩷🙏
Please consider posting the same as an afternoon / evening routine! Would love to see that with your adjustments for kids (we have 4 ages 8 & under). Thank you for sharing this content.
Idk why, but It’s just fun to dress up in a “uniform” to clean. Just gets you in the mood
Hi, I really enjoy your cleaning videos. I love your new Pioneer Woman comforter, very pretty.
I love watching your videos. I love watching cooking videos and would be interested in watching any that you do.
Where do you live? Once you opened the curtains it looked cold outside. BTW I love your videos. Routines that my grandmother did and still are so comforting.
I just found your TH-cam channel today was the first day I watched your videos the first one was the 1940s clean and I actually downloaded the book now I'd like to thank you because you are the only one I've ever seen it has his own somewhat the same size as mine very small. If I remember correctly in my house is somewhat 840 to 900 square feet something to that effect no attic no basement. I was widowed for 9 years moved into his house and it's extremely small leave me all these tips come in handy
I recently discovered your channel and love the cleaning routines. But as a mom of 3, youngest being a clingy toddler, how do you manage it? I can’t complete some tasks because she is always wanting to be held.
Just commenting for the algorithm ❤! Lots of positive vibes from Denmark !
Hello Kristina, so good to see you did another video. It’s funny because I’ve been cleaning and laundry today and now you make a video about cleaning. I think it was easier back then because I didn’t have all the junk we have now. Do you have a wonderful day and thanks for the video.😊
How tall are you? You seem tall. I’m not and have height jealousy. Always love your videos! Hope to read a novel from you one day! (Hopefully on kindle unlimited)
Hello! I found you on Instagram a few months ago but only started watching more of your videos just recently. Everything I've watched so far I love! You are a wonderful and amazing human and thank you for sharing your research and ND tricks and thank you for being brave and vulnerable with us too. So often we see curated homes and yours says "Humans live here. Big Humans, 5 little humans, and two cats live here in this small house." Which feels so much more realistic and relatable. So thank you for sharing your life with us! 💖
As a neurodivergent grandmother I am sssooo happy I found you! This channel has been so encouraging to me and to my daughter. Please don't change in any way. We love you as you are. God bless.
I wonder if there are any resources out there for vintage cleaning routines for people with jobs outside of the house; I love watching these videos and trying to take what I can from them, but sometimes it can be frustrating when I don't want to dedicate my only day off a week to hours of cleaning, and I need to find more ways to clean-as-I-go when I am rushing in the morning/recovering from the day at night.
I'm not able to go to a paid tier, but happy to add a cmt for engagement, home ownership is a rollercoaster sometimes, and hopefully things are fixed
Hello again Kristina! As always, I am absolutely thrilled to get a notification when one of your videos goes up. Hearing your voice is like hearing from an old friend I haven't talked to in ages. You are always so relatable and down to earth, and your content brings me joy. I love seeing you take care of your cozy home, mess and all. Sorry to hear things haven't been going your way, and I hope this helps!
Love your cleaning videos and love love loved your daily working from one side to the other side of your wardrobe on instagram. Kristina so glad I found your channel .
I hope you get the funds you need for your repair! Your house looks like a home and it is so lovely to see your cleaning videos!
I love your home . It's beautiful, it looks like a vintage home...real ..lived in but still lovely
I love vintage and cooking, so seeing breakfasts, lunches and dinners would be fun videos for me! ☺️
I really enjoyed this video. Your cleaning routine videos are so much fun and I love it when they pop up in my notifications 😊❤
liking and commenting! This one for some reason really seemed adoptable; I need to set up some kind of daily routine and mornings would be the best time but dang I hate waking up
As a ND person myself i have routines for everything, i couldnt function without them! I also love how in the 50s they made routines for mothers/women to follow i find it so interesting
Your living room looks stunning after the organization of the books, the wallpaper and rearranging of the furniture. I loove the look of full/messy bookcases but after the intentional decluttering and organasation it just looks wonderfully hobbity/ narnian!
I find adding a hair net under the hair scarf helps to keep the scarf from slipping and the hair from coming out of the scarf.
Hey there! So happy to have just found your channel and subscribed!! ❤ I can see that I have lots to catch up on and am excited to binge watch soon! Just curious…what made you have a vintage bent? 😃 🌷
I've always loved old things, so I think it just sort of grew from loving antiques and vintage (my dad also loves old things) into wanting to wear retro styles back in 2009 or so when I started fashion blogging into realizing I love vintage and trying to wear more and more vintage now!
A word about contact paper. Mostly, it costs less than peel-n-stick tiles or epoxy. The are many videos on 'how to epoxy countertops in the kitchen for under $500,' but LaCheery 160"x36" in gray green marble contact paper cost $50 (Amzn). Veelike 15.74"x118.11" in Pink Marble $11.89.
When I rented, I once had an ugly 4 ft bathroom vanity, which I covered in contact paper. Years later I visited someone who rented that same apt and the landlords had left the contact paper on it and it was still in great condition, so contact paper does hold up well.
Good to know!!
Hey hey hey, first time here, commenting to help also
Great video I watched it with my son and we both enjoyed
Love these videos, calming cleaning is nice. I find most clean/organize videos are too high energy
I would love a video or input about how to do these routines with kids because I am struggling 😂❤
Thank you for your great video's I really enjoy them.
You have such a beautiful house and lovely vintage things! I love this channel!!
Can this book still be purchased? Would love to own a copy.
I love your videos. I have four kids and we also have a small house, so this just hits very close to home and helps motivate me. ❤
