Loved this era. Im loving going back and watching these more domestic videos now that I can relate more than 10 years ago when I loved them as a teen 🥲
Watching this version of Jen in 2024. Oh how things can change. Reminds you that nothing stays the same and that's okay. She rocks every era of her life because it's just that her life. Thanx for letting us on the journey with you
i loved this Jen, watched almost the whole 55 minutes hah! you are truly so wonderful and such a brilliant host i can't believe how much you did! i hope to be like you one day
I love this.. its like watching a full hour show on tv but without the interruption of commercials. Must have taken you hours to upload. Thanks for keeping all in one video instead of separating it. Jen you are the best :)
Jen, you are so right about making lists. I just hosted a college graduation party for my son's girlfriend and the lists that I made helped me immensely. At a certain stage, my brain get's so cluttered and overwhelmed with everything that needs to be done. I find that having a checklist is a great way of clearing the mind and reducing the anxiety. Thank you so much for sharing. I thoroughly enjoyed your video and honestly, I didn't want it to end. You are a fabulous hostess! Take care. Aloha!
Jen I simply adore your videos. Because of you I have decluttered my home, reorganized my kitchen and simplified my wardrobe space. Watching your videos makes me smile, you are like a good friend with sage advice and a generous warm heart. I love getting glimpse of your life with Winnie and hubby, they are as adorable as you. A job extremely well done.
I always enjoy your party prep videos. Getting everything organized in advanced always make things run more smoothly. I also love that you always have something special for your nieces & the guest dogs (hostess with the mostest!). The only thing I found missing was your OOTD & Winnie's party bows! You always dress so cute & we like to see you in "party attire" even when the party is more casual. Thanks for sharing your Memorial Day party prep with us!
My gosh! You are like the most perfect hostess EVER! You think of everything - things that would NEVER cross my mind - like turning down the AC! Amazing! Love your videos!
I love how you broke down all the details of the preparation into manageable daily/weekly pieces, great example of, what is that expression, the best way to eat an elelphant is one piece at a time, lol :) I just bought my first house and am planning to host Christmas at our house this year for the first time, so I am sure I will be returning to this video over and over again for party planning ideas and inspiration. :)
I love your long videos. I use them as motivation to get my housework done. It's my reward for getting my stuff done, then I get to sit back, relax, and watch your videos. :)
To say I gleaned some inspiration is an understatement. Your videos are amazing. Thank you so very much for taking the time to share your process from start to finish.
What a wonderful video ! It's so usuable for ideas for my own summer entertaining ! Even though I dont think all so organized, we have you!!!! I've so enjoyed it Jen, Thanks
JEN Your party looked so beautiful,your so well organized and prepared ahead of time! I have a binder tabbed for each of the holidays and special occasions where I keep my planner for food,colour schemes,music,videos,decorations.I had fun making a cover page for each section and sitting down initially to plan,right down to the candy.lol. I love this to refer back to last year and like u said adjust a few things.The check list is in the binder and another things like a print out of the recipes.
Love your thought process while planning your parties! I unfortunately have a hubby and daughter whose idea of organizing is to stuff things in a drawer all willy nilly. They laugh at me and my lists but love it when they're looking for something and I can tell them without hesitation where it is!!! Love your videos!!!!
Love your videos Jen. I always come away motivated and inspired to do some organising around the home. Thanks so much for sharing with us. Looks like a fabulous party.
Great video Jen! thank you for bringing us with you on your party and having the time to film on such a busy day. I love the way you think about things, love the food prep and all the important details that make your family feel comfortable. Glad your party was a big success - had no doubt about it -, I would have loved to be there and enjoy your company. I bet those smoked baby ribs were out of this world delicious, so hungry now :) xxx
I enjoyed your video! I'm kind of a organization nut and throwing a party is the type of organizational challenge that I enjoy. Looks like you did an awesome job! Your guestroom video has inspired me to work on clearing out more space for my future guests. Thanks and keep the videos and great ideas coming!
I was suprised about the no flags and decorating too, but then she didn't show the front of her house, she may have old glory hanging proudly out front, like we do. I loved the video! She gave me a few ideas for my big 4th of July BBQ.
Thank you so much for this video ,loved it I often have large BBQ but am no where near as organised ,you have given me loads of little tips fabulous xxxx
I smile every time you say "and that my friends..." hehe.. youve inspired me to be MUCH more organized with everything and im loving it... ty so much for taking the time to make these vids for us
Hi Jen! It's been so long since I've watched any vid from your channels because of bad internet connection...You've been an inspiration for me to be more organize...Have a nice day and God bless:)
Thanks Jen for a great video. I'm sick in bed so loved a nice long video to watch. I gleaned heaps of great ideas. Looked like a great party. Jacqui from NZ.
That is an *official* certificate from the Fairy Godmother proclaiming me an official princess :p A gift from Don after my WDW Princess Half Marathon in February
Awesome, Awesome video. I try to do the same things when I am having guest but you do things better than me. I love this video. Thank you, Thank you for sharing with all of us.
great video the longer the better ,you are such a brilliant host ,it is great to be able to plan a bbq here in ireland the weather is so unpredictable i have never been able to set a date for one. our bbq 's are based on the weather so it is normally impromtue.got loads of tips from you though will use hopefully this summer .glad to see you love our irish butter
Wow! You are totally inspiring! I love to entertain but it usually only happens Christmas and Thanksgiving. I am now looking forward to planning a great BBQ for this years Memorial Day and 4th of July. Any opportunity to be with family is always great! I hope I can work up enough energy to be as organized as you!!
I know its not enviromental but I, too, love to use disposable plates and cutlery when I host big parties. Way less work to do when cleaning up. I find especially for summer BBQ's its ok cuz they are usually more casual events.
Great video Jen! your party looked fab! great tips on planning and also what items could be used for a party. Love this video, and will be using it for many of my future parties. your def a martha stewart for me =) please do make videos, when you have time, about your baking and cooking. the food looked yum!
I love planning parties, too! I really enjoyed this video. I'd like to second the request for your chocolate chip cookie recipe! And your margarita/ limeade recipe!
love your videos :D I appreciate how detailed you are, it definitely helps. I am also a college student and would love some tips to get organized. Any of your videos definitely inspire me to do my best, plan ahead, keep organized, decor and so much more :)
How did you learn your wonderful entertaining skills? Is this the way your families entertain? You are amazing! I love that the main dishes are the same each year and look sooo good! Can you do a Father's Day video? I'd love to get some ideas. Where do you get most of your plastic serving pieces? They are so cute for summer and I love the multi-colored glasses. Fantastic job! Priscilla : )
I should invest is lined post it notes like the purple ones you showed. Those make it easier for me to write. I cannot for the life of me write in a sheet of paper without lines espeically if I'm making a huge list.
It would be fantastic if you could share the recipes for the cookies and the pies. They looked wonderful and I'd love to be able to make them myself! x
hehehe my name is in your background :P That's so cute that both you and Don are in your high school friends' wedding!! Great video Jen, very informative as always :)
Loved this era. Im loving going back and watching these more domestic videos now that I can relate more than 10 years ago when I loved them as a teen 🥲

Wow you and your husband are fantastic hosts!! Makes me wish I was on your guest list! :)
You're extremely organized and I really appreciate it. I tend to get a little overwhelmed when it comes down to family parties.
I love this.. its like watching a full hour show on tv but without the interruption of commercials. Must have taken you hours to upload. Thanks for keeping all in one video instead of separating it. Jen you are the best :)

I love the chocolate chip cookies as parting gifts for the guest. Everything looked great!!
The butterfly stuff was from Target last year...the napkins were from a local stationary shop
Jen I simply adore your videos. Because of you I have decluttered my home, reorganized my kitchen and simplified my wardrobe space.

Great video. Unfortunately weather here in Ireland is so unpredictable that BBQs are rare.
Delighted to see our Irish Kerrygold butter.
I need a smores basket! I wasn't aware of this particular void in my life until this video. thank you for opening my eyes!
