I get up at 5:30am, prepare my husbands breakfast and pack his lunch, snack, and a thermos of coffee for him. Then after he leaves, before kiddo wakes up, I sit with my hot coffee in the quiet house and pray. I like to start my day talking to and focusing on God. He’s brought soo much peace, joy, and blessing into my life through this practice. I’ve seen dozens of little miracles. And a few massive ones. Then I listen to the daily Scripture reading on the hallow app. I might pray my rosary ( though I usually do that later). Then I go outside, feed the cat, let the chickens out of their coop, and water the garden and greenhouse. By then kiddos awake, and we have our breakfast. Oatmeal waffles, or garden veggie omelets. ❤

I am a morning person who enjoys quiet and calm before the fullness of a day sets in. Now retired, my morning routine is indeed slow and calm. Enjoying my coffee. Thinking about what I want to accomplish this day, or if I shall spend my day reading and watching the birds. I am incredibly grateful for what I have, allowing me to do as I wish and enjoy each day. Days when I see your vlog are especially grounding for me. Gentle reminder to do things with intention. Gratitude for what I have. Wishing you a lovely week Jen 🌼

It's great that everyday routine can be turned into such light and real content. It's a pleasure to watch! (not without a bit of good envy)) You know, Jen. Watching you and trying to create something like this, I understand more and more how narrow the reach of those people who really like it is. Time flies too fast, everyone is full of worries and their own problems, and many cannot switch to "awareness" and just continue to move with the flow of the rhythm that sets them every weekday. Please continue to popularize your vision of the world around you. So there will be more of us. (Maybe I'm too impressionable, but I really want to believe it)

I have a routine too it really does help and makes my day better. I like that you and your husband enjoy the same things together that's very sweet slowing down time is a must ❤

You prepare every meal with so much love for you and your husband!! So much appreciated for the great effort to film and edit your wonderful videos. All my love from Cyprus !

I really appreciate you saying how much work goes into your videos. In a culture of consumption it's so important to remember the work, sacrifice and love that goes into the things we enjoy.

Hi Jen! What a beautiful vlog again! Thank you for sharing! I work hard all week long from Monday to Saturday! Waiting for Sunday to have some relaxing time and enjoy a good morning breakfast and a peaceful journey. 💕🙂 Wishing you and your husband a lovely weekend! Have fun! ☀️🌸✨ Will give a try to the French toast and nectarines! Yum … Love sweet treats! Yayyyyy! 🤗🩷

😊 You are like me. I wake early to take my iron (my stores decrease to quite low if I do not supplement). During a cold Canadian winter, I often take my iron with warm lemon water 😊 (I am currently working through your amazing videos from the very first one!)

Taking your iron supplement with orange juice is perfect! Vitamin C helps increase the absorption of the iron. 😊

Beautiful video Jen ❤ loved the idea of simplicity in each aspect of ur day ❤ My slow mornings are like: gardening, yoga, coffee and prayer 😊

I love your videos. So calm and aesthetically pleasing :) Have a nice summer!

Thank you Jen, for a beautiful, elegant video. My husband and I make the most of summer by driving 30 minutes to walk on the beach after dinner. The sound and smell of the waves are so refreshing. 🌊 I have had low iron myself. I hope your iron supplements do their job well! Be well and continue to enjoy your summer. Thank you for all your time and effort, Susan USA

Your picnic is so beautiful! What a refreshing video

I like to wake up, make a coffee and read in my balcony in the morning for an hour. ❤I love doing this all summer until it's late autumn and very cold.

Dear Jen! Thank you so much for another wonderful video, I enjoyed it very much and I like your routines and your look on daily life🥰🤗your filming and editing skills are getting better and better!😌🫶great job!! In my slow morning routine I also get up early, take care of our cat, do my 20-30 minutes workouts, have breakfast, warm porridge with fruits and nuts, housework, cooking….after a long work life, I know retired and can slow down a bit…. Have a peaceful and healthy week! Lots of love from Iris from southwest Germany!👋🤗💐

If I had to use one word right now to describe your videos, it would be elegance. What is elegance? The word comes from the Latin "eligere", that is to choose. It is an art of living and thinking that can manifest itself in the way of dressing, but which goes beyond clothing. It also concerns the bearing, the gestures, the way of presenting oneself. It is a mixture of education, taste, personality and curiosity. And it is something absolutely mysterious. The French writer Honoré de Balzac even wrote a treatise on elegance. Now go ahead and take care of yourself...greetings from Italy 💚🤍❤

Always looking forward to your peaceful and calming videos. Sending you a big hug from Houston 🤠💛

Another beautiful video. Love all of the meals you prepared and the beautiful picnic. Beautiful and serene. Thank you.

Hey Jen, I have been away house & cat sitting, it was very rural so no internet/wifi. So glad I am home & then see you have a new video, helping to chill me out & encouraging to take my time & blend back into my usual routine :) Hope you have a great weekend, till the next time, be well, take care xx

I was thinking that somebody edit your videos. Thats why your videos so nice - because you make them by youself ❤

The breakfast looks so delicious 😋. Perfect with coffee and ur balcony ❤

I so much look forward to your videos. So beautiful and great visual appeal

Hi Jen, Thank you for another lovely video and sharing a bit of your life with us. I love and enjoy the mornings, but, I tread slowly. I love to linger over my cup of coffee. My husband, on the other hand, is a person that gets going early. Yes, opposites do attract! 😉. Have a good weekend with your hubby! Many Blessings, Sarah💐

Your videos also belong to my calm morning routine.😊❤️ Thanks for all your great work. You definetly deserve many more viewers.❤ With great love from Germany. 🥰

Thanks Jen for this serene vlog ❤

On Jen, my sausage fingers hit the "dislike" button by mistake, so sorry. Thank you for another lovely vlog, so calming. Thank you for all you do xxxxx

Beautiful, peaceful vlog post! I truly enjoy your posts.Thank you for all the work you do to produce it.

Hi! Love your video! The orange juice will cut the potential of the iron tablets. You should never have medicine with orange juice or milk.

Thanks so much for the video ❤

Nice❤❤

Thank you for the vídeo! Really a inspiration! Big hug, Jen! ♡

Did you get a new living room chair? It looks comfortable and I like how you rearranged the furniture. It makes the place feel like new.

You’ve had a bit of a change round in your apartment. Looks great. Your videos are really lovely. Thank you.

Beautiful video, so calm

Я восхищаюсь Вашим порядком и кулинарией❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

I Love your Videos ! Best wishes from Germany !❤️🥰

Me encantan tus vídeos. Saludos desde Barcelona.

hi! i’m in love with your vids but i would like to see your face one day in one of them 😢😢

I am true jeals ❤❤❤❤❤

Unfortunately coffee drains all your iron :( will be like putting water in only to drain it out! I learned that too many years so I drink latte or coffee with milk few times a week or only when I go out- tea has less caffeine or better yet fruit tea. If you also want to increase your iron. Good luck

Hola!e alegra verla y sus videos son muy relajantes saludos

Ooooh, quelle belle vidéo ! Tellement apaisante et ..... et tout!!!! J'aime beaucoup la nouvelle disposition de la table ! Et sa décoration si élégante !! Le fauteuil du bureau est dans le salon maintenant ? Vous nous en direz plus sur ces changements ? Si ce n'est pas indiscret ! Marie de Belgique ❤

Your videos makes me realise to enjoy the daily life instead of putting too much pressure of having a fun and exciting things to do everyday! I used to go out a lot and I’ve always craved for getting busy. But this slow living reminds me to just enjoy the present. And find joy even at home in peace..

How long did you cook the half pound salmon on the frying pan.

Hi Jen! I am not a morning person but do have a lovely routine similar to yours. I first get up and have coffee, cook brunch around 11:30' earlier on weekends when my husband is home. I then do daily chores such as bed making and general decluttering and cleaning. Then onto exercise including light yoga lifting small weights and riding my stationary bike. If it isn't too hot outside I go for a walk at the beach or around our complex. Once a week I combine errands and shopping and leave in my car. I pray, journal, read, do crosswords and puzzles, and take time daily for quiet time. Again outside if not too hot. Thanks always for your lovely videos! Enjoying retirement in SC.😊🏝🌍

Hi Jen! At what time do you usually go to bed and get up?

Hi Dear, May I know the brand of your portable mushroom light please. Thanks

I love you and your hasband

Is that fresh made coffee?! Why is it that watery?! 😢

I so wish I could be as disciplined as you. Do you dust ever day? What time does sunset there since it rises so early?

Hi 👋🏻. Where do you get the tall container that you keep your matches in, as I've been looking for one for ages. Could you link it if at all possible please. Thank you 😊

Please use water instead of orange juice to take you iron supplement and also in general. In contrast to the common knowledge fruit juice are bad for our body since it vontains mostly sugar!! As opposed to eating the whole fruit, the juice does not contain the fibers of the fruit and the vitamins disappear from the juice the minute it starts to stand in the glass!

我的早餐也跟你一樣，不過沒你的手藝好😅

Do you work???

The title should have been a day in your life as it goes beyond your morning routine

✨️🌺🏞 🕊 🙂👋🌷
