Thank you so much for watching. Check out my latest homemaking video here: Meditations on Homemaking: The End of Summer th-cam.com/video/VI37hmScqtM/w-d-xo.html With thanks, Jennifer
I love the striped apron. Where might I find that?
My husband never understand why I'm watching someone else clean or take care of her home... But it motivates me, not only to get it done, but to do it with pride. Thank you, I want to bring this calm into my home
Same here 💕
Same
Your children will remember all of the effort you put into making your house a home. Those memories will stay with them forever. 😊
I’ve been a homemaker for 22 years. I feel so blessed to have been able to raise my two children and keep a beautiful home. It’s not always been easy with one income, but we stayed within our means. Now that my children have graduated, I’m pursuing my passion and I’m now a student of Interior Design! I can’t wait to get out there and see what I can do. My heart will always be home with my husband and kids! 💕
I'm 58 in October. My sons are 31 and 34, I'm so glad I only worked a few hours when they were growing up...time with kids is important. I spend time with my Grandson now
Absolutely amazing, you rock🤘🤘🤘
You have been blessed! I had to work because my 1st husband was a poor choice. I finallyhave a wonderful husband and after i retired i love being a house wife. I even want the kitchen all to myself, meaning, i decide what goes where and dont suggest i do things differently. Its my world, i am the house wife and I love it!! Lol. Sounds harsh. Womens lib stole so much from us.
As a homemaker, I often find myself depressed from the loneliness that accompanies the solidarity. I forget to find the peace in being alone. Thank you for reminding me of the beauty in the craft of homemaking.
After watching this, I found a table cloth that I usually only save for special occasions and put it on my table for a simple Tuesday dinner. You make everything look so beautiful; I feel “shlempy” when doing housework. Next purchase.... a cute apron. Thank you for the inspiration. Simply lovely.
This just made me tear up- the ending with the littles enjoying the pudding, made just as special and pretty as if it were for honored guests. Just love it.
The children enjoying their pudding is the most blessed part of this beautiful video 🌺 Thanks, Jennifer!
Oh my, wonderful video. I’m so blessed to be a Grateful Homemaker. I often say, “my hard work within the home is paradise… relaxing”. 😇
A lovely day. These simple things are what make life worth living and yet so many have it the other way round. Misguided expectations lead to misery but embracing all the aspects of our lives with gratitude leads to contentment.
Katie, I love your quote! In fact, I have written it in my Bible. Gratitude = A Happy Person!!
@@user-ex1ps6iq7l Thank you! I'm glad you like it.
When I iron i think of ironing out problems, smoothing out all the wrinkles of life in the quiet of
Ironing. What a blessing to have a home and beautify lives!
❤️
love your simple, wholesome and joyful films...it's such a refreshing way to consume content here on TH-cam.
Thank you so much!
I just love how you make homemaking look chic, whenever i feel im going to be sloppy, i asked in my head "what would Jennifer do?", you are such an inspiration!
I love how you have a daily makeup routine as a homemaker, that is wonderful. I have not worn makeup since working from home and I have fallen in a rut. You have inspired me to get ready like I would for the office 😊thanks !!!
Very inspiring! I just turned 55...is that too old to be adopted by you?! What a lucky family!! : )
I know, right?! Please adopt us. 😄
I grew up in 1960s and I recall my mom always wearing an apron. When I was in school 1960s girls in intermediate school taking home economics there first sewing project was making an apron. I still have my apron.
Loved the baby shaking his head like yes more please! This is a beautiful and relaxing video. You show us that there is meaning and beauty in the life of a homemaker. We're very lucky to have this blessing! ❤❤💐
Thank you, DeAnna!
My table is very scratched from the day to day of life and homeschool with six children... but I love putting a simple lace table cloth on in between meals and when we have guests! Instant elegance and camouflage for those scratches and paint stains!
I remember once our neighbor (who was raised in England) saw it and mentioned it reminded him of how his mother used to keep a table cloth on and how “you just don’t see that much now”. I’ve just always remembered that, and I think it does evoke a sweet yesteryear feeling.💕
loved seeing your table, too! Beautiful and relaxing video, Jennifer!
I am a lace tablecloth lover too! Have mine on for the 4th!!
I actually enjoy ironing - maybe because I don't have too much. I find it soothing to press wrinkles into smoothness. There's something meditative about it. Even the sounds of the steam.
Glad you spoke up I truly enjoy ironing as well, in fact I used to take in ironing to supplement my low income it gave me hours to think and plan ahead x
Me too!!!!!
When I watch this at work (on lunch break) I always wish I was at home. When I watch it at home, it makes me want to get up and do something. It's so reminiscent of a bygone era, or one I dream of anyway. TFS
Such a beautiful depiction of Homemaking and Motherhood. You are surrounded by such beauty, so many inspirations. Your thoughts/ poem about tablecloths was lovely. A work of art🌹
Thank you so much, Nikki xx
That nod of approval at the end, so sweet! Great idea for pudding, I imagine you could use any fruit. The typewriter really relaxes me, thank you, Jennifer. I notice how slowly and intentionally you do your tasks, its something to think about. (I am growing butternut squash for the first time myself, so exciting!)
I’ve been using the spearmint from my garden and using it as fillers w/my fresh cut flowers. The mint just takes makes the bouquets so full and even more beautiful. Also, they make a natural room deodorizer w/it’s wonderful smell.
I loved the video. It looks like you do everything with love and kindness. I love cleaning and serving my family. And this kind of videos motives people to appreciate what a homemaker does.☺️
I really love your videos! As a mum who works from home, I recognise both the pleasure and the endurance it takes to be a home maker. My eldest will turn 18 next year, the time goes so quickly and I am truly thankful I had the opportunity to experience watching her grow into an amazing adult. Thank you for sharing your life with us ♥️
I can’t tell you how much I love your videos. Each one is peaceful, and you make housework look so easy.
I really love this style of video. It shows real beauty in the everyday, and inspires me to do better in my home, even though I live with just my two Maine coon cats. We deserve a safe and peaceful haven. Thank you, lovely xxx
I love watching your videos, especially the ones that focus on daily homemaking tasks, when I’m feeling blah from my daily routine...you do homemaking with such beauty, grace and class.
Thank you, Denise!
I love home making. It's just the two of us, and always has been, but I enjoy having a beautiful home, it gives me great satisfaction and peace.
This is one of your best videos as it encapsulates what your channel is about- the simplicity and joy looking and being the elegant chic and humble traditional house wife- more please
I especially love these homemaker life videos you've been making, Jennifer. On a hard day, hearing the beautiful music and seeing the lovely images of you doing the same things I do on a daily basis makes me feel better and appreciate my life even more. You are right---homemaking is a solitary pursuit ....and a blessing to have a home and others to care for. Thank you and God bless your family.
You have such a talent for creating a beautiful, inviting home. You also have a talent for making videos. The camera shots and the background music are beautiful and calming.
What a lovely treat to see all your kids enjoying the pudding (especially the little one).
Jennifer, this was truly breathtaking. You inspire us to beauty!
You remind me of my Grandma. Feminine and tasteful. The way you live and decorate are similar to the way she lived and decorated. Lovely to remember...
Retired RN here. Loved your video. I think woman (rather then men) are naturally better homemakers. It’s so lovely to see this come through in this video. The feminine touch.
Your videos are always day-brighteners. ❤️🏡 The beautiful tablecloth matches your blouse.
My daughter (8yrs old) and I so enjoy these! It is motivation on the days when everything seems messy and unpleasant. We watch this and we are inspired to MAKE beauty. Thank you! I know these are a lot of effort!
Oh wow..how do you do this..this so relaxing to watch...I have so much admiration towards you..lots of love..
Thank you for watching!
Oh Jennifer! You have done it again! I absolutely love the music you chose for this one. I love tablecloths also. I just really love how real you are!!! God bless you and your family.
I really enjoyed watching this. First time watching . Peaceful, inspiring , just lovely. Nice to see Homemaking as an art! Your little boy eating the mango at the end was just the cutest!
Lovely. I love how your little man shook his yes when eating. So sweet.
You have inspired me to use placemats again. Not sure why I every stopped
My mother - so long ago in the 1960s, had a little transistor radio on the counter near the ironing board and she would listen to music. She also kept a little bowl there with needle, threads, buttons, etc., so that she could do any repairs when she noticed a missing button or little rip. She would iron most of the day on Tuesdays for our family of 6. For years we had no dryer so things were more wrinkled. My laundry days are so quick and easy, and I don't need to iron much. We are all so blessed!
I could watch your videos all day with the tranquil music and beautiful flowers! Everything just flows. And those darling little boys!! Thank you so much for the inspiration, for taking the time to make the video and for sharing.
Nothing like a well dressed table!
It could make a meal of a can of soup fantastic.
It really isn’t about the food, it is about the experience.
Especially when there are fresh flowers gracing the table
And time with family.
Wow! Your mango pudding looks delicious! I love how you make it look so perfect! You are so inspiring, Jennifer!
I've been loving these types of videos! I really admire your elegance and class while enjoying the simplest things of life :)
Beautiful! You remind me of me when my older kids were little. I have 6 kiddos ages 18-7. My time for lovely homemaking has been gradually replaced with kids extracurricular activities. It’s so nice to see you do it. I’m now going back to school for a 2nd degree in nursing . Congrats on this channel - a gem.
I'm taking out my much-loved vintage tablecloth to iron and place it on my table this evening. This was such a calming and inspiring meditation on homemaking! Thank you!
Your videos are so serene and relaxing. I just love the way you portray the simple classic home life. Just makes me want to bake, grow flowers, put a table cloth on my table, do my make up, and complete all of my household chores. You do all with such grace. Very inspiring!
The joy of motherhood and raising our children. What a blessing to our families.
Such a lovely and soothing video!! The music is so calming and your baby at the end eating the mango pudding is priceless!!! Well done Jennifer!
I'll have two of the croissants, and a dozen hugs from your sweet baby!
Jennifer I would love a linen cupboard tour. Showing your table clothes, napkins, placemats etc. How you store them inbetween use and what you look for when shopping for these linens. 💕 Love everything you share. Blessings 🙏
I really enjoyed this video Jennifer. The beauty, the simplicity, the music. You truly make homemaking an art!
I adore every single one of your videos... haven't seen them all yet. This one is my favorite. There's a timeless quality about it that is enchanting. Thank you.
Another beautiful video. I love these. Between you and Nikki, my artistic homemaker soul feels nourished and content. Thank you both for showing the beautiful side of homemaking.
Home making with grace-beautiful!
Thanks for the reminder about using the fragments. The last two days we have used the fragments. My husband notice and was so proud of me. He even said, “This is a free meal!”
Oh Jennifer I just loved this video...so calming to watch you . I say the same thing all the time,but I feel like today housekeeping etc is a lost art.
You can see the love you put into every task. Your roses are beautiful. Do you feed them etc? I have two rose bushes in my garden and I baby them but don’t get stupendous flowering like that...they are lovely. Your little boy is just adorable...he brings a tear to my eye..so precious. I have three little grandsons and they are the light of my life. Have a wonderful day 🙏🏼❤️
This was just beautiful Jennifer. I enjoyed so much. Loved seeing the children( especially the baby) just enjoying that pudding so much. It was touching! Very inspiring!! Blessings.
I have tablecloths from my grandmother, my mother and my mother in law. I love them all! I think my youngest grand granddaughter may be the one who will appreciate them, or maybe the middle one. The grace of the 1930’s, the 1950’s, the 1960’s passed on in love.
(1) Thank you for showing that homemaking can be, and is a valuable art form. “Making a home” for my family is what I love to do, and it’s only been until recently that I have found confidence in “just” being a homemaker.
(2) If you clip the stems of a hydrangea and place about 1”-2” of the stem in boiling water for about 30 seconds, then place the immediately into lukewarm water in your vase, they will last almost 3 weeks. ❤️
F.A.V.O.R.I.T.E. What a treasure- thank you 🙏
These homemaking videos relax and calm me. Thank you for such lovely work.
I've been wanting to get a tablecloth! I've never had one and I plan on following your afternoon tea video for my husband and myself this week. Thank you for your suggestions! I'm excited!
The vintage ones are so very lovely
@@katnuccio85 I agree! Always classy and universal!
I get some from Thrift stores or Goodwill. Most people don't know what they are discarding. I iron and hang mine on pant hangers so I see what I have.
This is so peaceful. I need more of this in my life and home. I’m jealous that you don’t have any toddlers or infants clamoring for your attention the way I do while I try to do ... anything
Thank you for watching! Visit my corresponding blogpost, which goes into more detail about my tablecloth routine. dailyconnoisseur.blogspot.com/2020/06/homemaking-week-in-life-art-of.html I hope you enjoy my homemaking series and I look forward to seeing you on Wednesday for The Chic Assignment for July. Love, Jennifer
🌹🙏Dear, precious Jennifer you're completely lovely and inspiring. God bless you and your family with continued love, joy of the Lord and success in all you do! Amen!🌹
Jennifer, love your calming and inspiring videos. We went strawberry picking this past weekend here in NY and made jam for the very first time. It came out amazing.
Oh how lovely this films you created. I love watching siletvlogs. It gives me calmness especially the music in the background. I love it especially when you put captioned instead of talking. Please do this more often. I found some cleaning videos similar to this...those Korean & Japanese vlogs...love them. I like this kind of style it feels like you're there cleaning with me at the same time and have a soothing music. Perfect combination! Keep up the good work Ms Jennifer. I like your style. I finally found a silent vlog cleaning that is perfect for me. Your silent vlog cleaning is on repeat whenever I start cleaning. Please make more of this style with caption. Thank you. 😊 oh subscribers of yours since day 1.❤ God bless your channel!
You are helping me take pride in my homemaking... I’m so grateful for you. Thank you or sharing your work and graceful life. Your flowers are beautiful. Not sure I’ll ever get to tablecloth use 🤓 but it is so lovely. Hope it’s a great week for you and family - love from KY
You said homemaking is mostly a solitary endeavor but these videos help me feel not so alone while doing my work. Thank you! Love the poems!!
This was so soothing and I love seeing table linens! I use tablecloths and cloth napkins as well.
I use tablecloths and cloth napkins as well. I have glass tops made for all my wood tables. It doesn't cost much and protects the tops. Great on night stands, desks and kitchen tables. On my dinning room table I use a waterproof pad with a cloth on top.
I love this video of yours. New subscriber here. The calming music.. and text that come on the screen instead of the usual yapping away we so often hear.. this style of filming is refreshing. And I'm trying to ease into being a homemaker now from being a career focused woman before. Watching u do these mundane household chores and take pride in doing so is such an inspiration. Homemaking is actually such a noble job. You have to put ur ego aside to do it for your family and there isn't any fame or glam to it at all. But it's an important part in keeping the family happy.
For the years we had small children I purchased enough clear plastic sheeting by the yard from the roll in the fabric department of our discount store (don’t remember how many mils but it was sturdy enough to take the daily beating). I used it to cover the tablecloth for family meals. It prevented laundering multiple table cloths each day - and I “windexed” it after each meal! It sounds odd even now but it worked like a charm! It is also great to cover the table for cookie decorating marathons, craft projects,, even puzzles - the pieces don’t slip around. My sister-in-law used the plastic only without a tablecloth on their wood dining table. When it became too scarred and marred she cut it up to make book covers for her childrens’ textbooks. They attended a parochial school and textbooks were often bought used and then resold. Those plastic covers reduced the wear and tear much better than the paper book covers we used in the 70s. I still have a plastic table cover rolled up in a closet to pull out if needed. I love table linens and found a hunter green and white, large gingham check table cloth at Walmart in the 80s. I bought 4! I use them for every day, as a base to dress up with a vintage floral or graphic design square cloth layered diagonally, for spring, for fall, for Christmas, to cover the long, narrow folding plastic table I use as a buffet for holiday meals, family dinners, or parties. They are tough and wash like a dream. I use combinations of other tablecloths, runners, placemats and napkins - but the green and white check cloths have been the perennial workhorse for over 30 years! Can I be that old?
One of your other videos inspired me to get pretty table cloth. I just love it! Your videos are so relaxing. What great inspiration on a Monday morning!
Baby boy with his curls, my goodness so precious Jennifer. What an easy yummy treat. I never thought to make that. The flowers were magnificent. Tablecloths are not just for special occasions. Well, maybe they are. Every day should be a special. Even if its routine and ordinary it's another day of life and that's special 🥰
Jennifer, these videos of your week in homemaking are beautiful. I really love them. Sarah.
What a lovely video! The tablecloth is a work horse in this house too. Each evening one is washed and the next day a fresh tablecloth is at the breakfast table topped with a bouquet or bowl of fresh fruit awaiting my family.
Oh Jennifer, what a beautiful post!!! I could watch your baby eat, literally all day!! haha!!! Thank you for always bringing calm, humor and beauty to my week! :)
Where are your kids mostly while you do all these chores? I feel like the moment I start cleaning my kids cling to me
I hear you!
My thoughts too
Exactly what I was thinking 🤔
They are always around. Playing with eachother... inside, outside, or doing their own chores :)
Yes, and the video included the asmr-ish voice of food, rustling leaves etc. If they filmed at my home, they would here the siblings murdering each other
Drinking my tea while watching your video was a nice way to recharge my batteries in my homemaking day ! Thank you !
Such beautiful words about simple things.
I’m so in love with this style of video!!!! Thank you so much for this!
Sooooooo relaxing to watch. I love flowers too
Loved to watch your channel today. You make home making look so relaxing, almost like meditation. 😍
So nice to see a young family using table linens. We used them the whole time our five children were growing up. People thought we were nuts using tablecloths, napkins and (gasp) glasses and Corelle. Yes, glasses and dishes get broken, but that's what thrift stores are for--to inexpensively replace them! Children learn better manners when the table is set formally each meal, and we could take our children to any restaurant and not be embarrassed. In fact, several times our meals were paid for by other patrons who were so impressed with our five well-behaved children that they felt compelled to pay for our meal. Blessings! I love ironing too; it's a great excuse to watch a movie without guilt during the middle of the day. Keep up the good work! You are a wonderful inspiration to many.
I'm new to your channel and absolutely enjoyed your daily routine(s). You have a beautiful home. I don't know how you keep your nails so nice and polished with kids, cooking, ironing, gardening... Thank you for sharing
These videos are so relaxing to watching. They always inspire me to make all rooms beautiful.
Oh how relaxing your video is....such a breeze of fresh air 💕
Very calming watching this.
What a wonderful video, Jennifer! Thank you! I'll be smiling while I finish the laundry. The roses are spectacular!
Hydrangeas are my favourite garden flowers! Those are beauties!!
So peaceful! Thank you we need peace in these trying times.
These short films are so beautiful and inspirational. I love them. I am wrecking my brain on how I can achieve this level cleanliness and organization while working from home.
Jennifer, you inspire me to magnify my work as a homemaker
I love your videos.This one was so calming almost like a meditation!
Just beautiful 💕💕 loved the music ( in fact I played your video over and over to hear the music while I made your Sourdough bread recipe.
I loved the tablecloths the beautiful white shirt and apron. Your garden and mango dessert. And the statement of homemaking as a solitude 💕 thank you -nancy
