I have been a homemaker for 45 years, and always gently corrected those who called me a “housewife”! 😉 It isn’t always fun, but so rewarding to look back on with satisfaction that while I was not always the most skillful or best household manager, I always cherished and was grateful for my life at home.

    Years ago, I heard in preaching that “A mother sets the mood or tone for a home.” Since then I have observed and can testify that your first point here is indeed true! I have been a nanny for years, and if I can keep myself calm when things are escalating it greatly aids the children in not getting as out of control.

    I read a book years ago that made the point that our modern-day servants are our appliances: dishwasher, washer, dryer, crockpot, instant pot, etc. That idea helps me frame my relationship with my appliances, especially if reading Proverbs 31 or other texts that refer to servants in homemaking. I need to set my servants to task (ex: move laundry from the washer to the dryer) as part of my day.

    I cleaned houses for a couple of years and before I started my business I read 2 books on housekeeping. I can only remember the title of one of them, "Is There Life After Housework?", but both books contained the same advice in the first chapter: de-clutter first! Cleaning goes much faster and easier when you're not constantly moving stuff here and there to get it out of your way. :)

      Beaton was a victim of syphilis, contracted from her husband. she also suffered multiple miscarriages and lost babies in infancy because they were infected in utero. Even though doctors knew her husband was syphilitic they kept that information from her because it was deemed unwomanly for a lady to know of such things. She was a great woman, struck down by a great evil.

    Miss Jennifer... when my daughters reached Junior High School age, we would " dress for dinner " once to twice a month , and this practice continued into thier High School years. I found it so enjoyable to do this, it was usually on a Weekend, and secretly, I think they found it " elegant, but fun " ....they didn't ever roll thier eyes ( lol) or any of that, it was supper by dimmed lighting, along with candlelight, cloth napkins, good crystal, all of that. I miss those times, as they are now in their 30's with thier own lives, but I cherish those memories of that time. Beautiful video, thank you.

    I still have a few housekeeping books (in French) from my mum, one is from the 50s, and the others are a series from the 60s and early 70s, like an encyclopedia for young women and mothers. About housekeeping, organisation, maternity, babies, raising children, beauty care, health care, clothes and accessories, savoir-vivre, saving money, decorating, cooking.... Also about values, elegance, kindness. I loved reading them when I was a teen, thought they were fascinating ....even though I had no particular interest in these topics at the time. They made me appreciate my mother even more because she always did her very best for us, she was not rich but always elegant, and she took such good care of everything even though she also worked full-time as a teacher. My dad was amazing too! and he participated as well, they really worked as a team. I cherish these books, all the advice and vintage illustrations! Luckily we have moved away from many of the unjust female stereotypes of those decades, but so much in these books is still so true and useful. I am really happy the way my parents rose my brothers and me! I did the same with my own children, and am so happy to see their wonderful personalities, principles and values. And it seems my grandchildren are following the same path :) Yes, good housekeeping can make such a difference, and a very LASTING one. Thank you so muchJennifer for this series, inspired by great books!

Keep in mind, you are not only teaching your children HOW to behave, but even more important, to me anyway... the type of treatment that feels good and familiar to RECEIVE from others.. the thought of him being ugly to others seems awful, but the thought of him thinking he deserves it, looks for it from others?

      I completely understand these feelings. I am 55 but "semi-retired". I think that covid made our household work so much more abundant and there were so few breaks at all. With spouses and children being home so much, no places to go to eat out and lack of family contact, it's enough to make us each feel overworked, overwhelmed and ready to quit. I have been battling it too. I talk to God and complain often when doing the dishes each morning. So tired of kitchen detail I could scream.

      @@laurlicia LOL yeah, I hear ya. And on top of all that, hubs suggested we get a new puppy, since we "had so much time" now during the shutdown (last year). I looked at him and explained, as politely as I could, that my workload was actually much more than normal because everyone was home 24/7 (and expecting me to pick up after them). With our previous dog, way too many Sunday mornings were spent teasing me about how they had to "wait on me" to get ready, and I'd come downstairs to find our poor dog had no food, no water, had not even been let outside yet. So no thanks, I'd like a break from hearing the "she's really your dog" excuse.

      i'm still working but am an empty nester..so i can slack on some due dates of tasks, but our meals are at the e same time every day, it's easier for us both to keep doing whatever knowing when we're stopping for dinner, it's now 6:30 or 7:00, but was earlier when we had kids living with us...so that's a benefit of the empty nest, but i still plan meals and have assigned certain days to be the same, tuesday is always mexican food, wednesday is pasta, monday is light, friday is always cheeseburgers, the other days rotate, makes meals so easy, have days for washing towels, sheets, etc, again i know my daily agenda, i have been teased, but i live an organized life, thus planning allows me to have alot of time fir my hobbies. I also have another job besides home management...32 hours a week planning education conferences, much planning and task lists, but organized work flow allows me time to coordinate 6 different programs...it's all in time management, for everything, frees up time for fun. people unfortunately see planning as work, when it's the polar opposite, i'm not stressed about dinner, or laundry...just check my schedule 😂

I’ve raised six children and we live a functional country lifestyle, but I love things beautiful. Have you seen Jennifer’s mother in laws home tour? It inspired me that I can have things beautiful, but also lived in. I loved her books lying around. I always felt shameful about my books and magazines. I started putting them away to look more minimalist. I like her take that it’s her style… anyway, just don’t ever let the idea of a perfect Pinterest look take away from the joy and coziness of being with family… sometimes all the shoes by thee

    Was stuck on #3...Early rising. Am retired now & thankfully so. (Had major sleep deprivation.)
    The last few months I've been awakening about 2 A.M. whether from pain or worries. I use this time to read & write, drink more water, all without getting out of bed so hopefully I can return to slumber after a couple hours. So why would I feel compelled to get up at 6 or so? Right... I won't.
    At this point, I consider myself a woman of leisure in that there isn't a man, children or even pets to be seen. And if someone comes to call...are they coming to see me or the house?
    I looked around at my room #8 & do see some chaos as I am packing for a move so yes, things are looking messy but moving items here then there is only options for small quarters.

    I was an all or nothing duster. Our family used rags, never a lambs wool or feather duster. Mom had a very clean home. But then a couple of yrs. ago, I watched Downton Abbey, where they used feather duster. that clicked. Our home is clutter free and dusting happens more frequently. Thanks for all your inspiration.

    We also have 4 kids & we have been "practical frugality" for several years. Some people strive but struggle to have more & expensive items. I consider myself frugal, we have very little debt & every year I always find a new way to save money. I have some nice items & take good care of myself & our family & home. I don't feel stressed to be part of society with too many unnecessary things. This is living in freedom to have control of how you feel, not how others judge. I love your videos, please keep them coming!

    The quote about "Frugality....parent of liberty" sounded so much in tone like one of my favorite writers, I looked it up and, sure enough, it is from Samuel Johnson. He is renowned for his pithy sayings. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Johnson

    Very true about when Mom isn’t happy no one is happy. My Mom was always cheerful, pleasant and happy for the most part I remember and of course she had her off days which were far and in between thank goodness. But I always admired her for keeping her cool.

    Thank you so much for this. I love all of this but number 9 spoke loudly to me. My house is speaking volumes to me about what systems work or don't work and also I need to be reminded that my family members would benefit from being a part of the home management routine.

    Mrs. Beeton is a national treasure, and I'm so glad you introduced us to some of the tips that you picked up from her book. I've always had in the back of my mind that I should have a copy, but never got around to it. Now is the time!

    Regarding number five on our attitudes. I’m 65 years old and I wished I’d learned this earlier when my children were at home. I was a widow raising two children. I remarried after 20 years. After being empty nesters for a number of years my new husband and I married. We’ve been married 14 years now. I really had some lessons to learn!! I would (fairly often) hear myself sounding critical or cranky and the word that came to me was “whimsical”. I needed to bring charm into my home and set the standard for our home. When I forget and I hear myself losing it I hear “whimsical” in my heart and I’m able to stop myself and turn it around. Sometimes if I don’t catch myself in time I have to go to my husband and apologize. I hope “whimsy” will be in your hearts and cover your homes with joy!

    #8 is also speaking to clutter. We cannot keep clutter organized. Clutter does not have a “place for everything & everything in it’s place”.

    My house is telling me that I need to do a wardrobe declutter! I have two garment racks full of clothes, in addition to my closet, which is very tiny. Economy is so important, excessive debt is corrosive and soul destroying. I got carried away buying online fast-fashion to relieve the boredom of lockdown, now I’m paying for this, in more ways than one.

    My home says peace and tranquility. With a seaside theme and lots of quirky pieces everywhere. I love my vintage grandfather clock and my copper antiques, my art deco furniture as well as my beach themed reptile vivaria and I love the open light spaces mixed with the cozy nooks. Our home and garden are very cohesive too. The wildflowers we grow are brought into the home, the colour scheme flows throughout the home and the garden, the kitchen and patio area are like one large indoor/outdoor space. It’s taken 2 years but I am finally happy with our home and the message it sends out.
