I wanted to make a different type of comment today. I’m a 62 yr old wife, mom and grandma who has subscribed for about 2 years. I love your channel-the grace, style, practical advice. I’m in a different stage of life, packing up the household of my 89 yr old dad and moving him to memory care (my mom passed away there in July) much sooner than I thought. I came home a couple of nights ago upset and down and just wanted to watch your videos. My husband held my hand beside me while I watched 4 or 5 and I realize the calming effect you have. The fact that your videos are never rushed or have the frenzy that life can have. I wanted to thank you. You are helping some of us in ways you might not have thought about. God bless you, Becky in Oregon

I started using the Fly Lady for a cleaning system and it has been a tremendous game changer for establishing cleaning routines that will not burn you out...and I work full-time time, love serving my husband (who serves our family as well) and have 3 chidren. I also follow Minimal Mom which has helped with decluttering because you can't clean until you declutter first. Between Jennifer L. Scott, Marie Kondo, Dawn from Minimal Mom and Marla the Fly Lady, after 4 months I have escaped crippling depression and my family has also become stable and dare I say happy. We all work together and find joy in keeping the house tidy, clean and relational. Jennifer, you were the first to start me on this journey starting with Be Presentable Always and intro to capsule wardrobes. Thank you. Your videos have been life support when I was so overwhelmed and felt so powerless. In my journey I have been lead to the other ladies. Btw, shout out to Ariel, The Akward Mom who introduced me to the Fly Lady and made the system easy to understand. All the principles amongst these influencers blend together well. I hope my post blesseds others as I have been blessed. Peace and Blessings, All ways.

As a single mum who is a renter, I can solidly say that my eye is pleased when I look at my space and see only what I NEED in a space. So, no vases, no picture frames, no ornaments, no art, no nothing lol. Yes my place looks like I've just moved in all the time but can say, living like this makes me feel so light. Clutter simply makes my chest pound and my mind foggy lol.

@leiasmith3305 2 жыл бұрын

While I am sure that my Mom did all of these in some form, I wish it had been more transparent to me while I was growing up. I seriously didn't know that all of this was necessary in some sort of conscious form- I was always just hanging in and thought other people were naturally neater or more domestic. But now that I do know these and have implemented them, my home is comfortable, clean and peaceful. I wish I had known all of this when I left home -- how much money, time and self recrimination I would have saved. Thanks for the series and your work.

Yes and amen! I'm all about a scheduled homemaking routine. After you posted a discussion on Little Women and the importance of the work not being shouldered by one family member, I was inspired to be more proactive about dividing the work in our home. I have seen a tremendous change in my work load! The meal planning is my next tackle. I love when you post these videos because it is so practical and yet it goes even deeper than the practicality - it helps us carve out a beautiful life!

I am in the Philippines. A lot of us in the cities have the benefit of having helpers in our homes but due to the pandemic a lot of helpers opted to go home to their province. For the most part of my life we had assistance in the house and now left on my own wits I didn’t know homework could be such a challenge. Thank you for your posts for helping me set up a system and also when disheartened due to the burden of house work I listen to some of your topics that could help me. I see now housework as meditative, letting me see the beauty of my house, rediscovering the gardens, observing the seasons, taking care of stray cats, listening to classical pieces and more. There is peace and joy in these mundane tasks. Thank you again.

This is an area that so many of us struggle with, and you have a knack for it and with multiple kids under your roof, too! It would be great to hear about family routines and management, especially if you have seasonal or annual cycles of different tasks etc.

This brought back memories - my mother sitting down at the end of the week and writing the next week’s meals, and a shopping list. She also had set days for different cleaning tasks. As for clutter, there wasn’t any! Every morning she put on a little makeup, styled her hair and wore a pleasing outfit, even though she didn’t have much money. It took me a long time to appreciate and emulate these things.

@lisag.6599 2 жыл бұрын

I’m about to get married! Yay! And I’m absolutely swamped with things to do. I read all your books a few years ago but met my future husband and in the chaos of school, work, and planning this wedding I have lost the order I had in my space! My space has changed lots since moving a few times. I moved into an empty apartment and I’m preparing it for us when we marry. It’s a lot of work and I find myself getting overwhelmed. I’ve started eating fast food because I’m too exhausted and overwhelmed to even look at the chaos in my apartment. I’d love some more homemaking motivation! In the meantime I need to remind myself that I am homemaking and this is the work it takes but it will be beautiful.

Now that life is opening up, I have to rein myself in, being careful I don't fall into that frenzied life. The one special thing that you and Nicki have gotten me to do is have fresh flowers. It makes me stop and see my home very differently. Thank you.

Your channel is always so helpful to me, Jennifer. I so admire you. I know it's important that we not be hard on ourselves, but I do wish I didn't feel so guilty. I work full time and try to be the best employee that I can and I try to a good wife and home manager. Sometimes I feel like I'm handling it and other times I feel as if I'm failing miserably. I work in the nursing field and I have two private pay cases, between which I work at least 40-50 hours a week. I've not asked for a vacation and have agreed to work for several people during the summer, fall and even now while some are taking vacations. I purposely didn't request a vacation because we're searching for a house and my husband and I will need some time off to move. That will be our vacation and it's fine. However, last night we had sleet and snow for several hours and I was at my first client's house and trying to go home early (no problem there), but the second client's daughter was so angry at me for not being able to make my shift. I work a combination of evening/overnight hours and my husband works overnight as well. I was concerned that I might get stuck on the road and wouldn't be able to get home. I take my job very seriously and would NEVER cancel my shift for a frivolous reason. My patients are elderly and have dementia and dependability is a must for nurses and really everyone in the medical field, but my client's daughter who lives five minutes from her father made it sound like I had greatly inconvenienced her. There are other days when I'm working the two jobs in one day that I feel as if I've abandoned my husband. I'm getting better at doing things faster because of so many good tips from you and other channels. However, sometimes I wish people could see how much most of us really want to do the right thing. This makes me miss my Mother so much. I know it will all feel better tomorrow, but sometimes I think people take advantage.

I know Jennifer will reply to you, but I want to say that you must stay firm about what you can achieve - do not allow anyone to make you feel guilty! It is clear from how you write that you are dedicated. Nursing and looking after people is very demanding work; and elderly people tend to become anxious and, sometimes, irritable too, in my experience, so that is hard for you. Try to look after yourself - you deserve it! I miss my Mum too - the one person who always gave me so much encouragement. They are cheering us on from elsewhere. 🕯

I am a new subscriber to your channel and I am obsessed! I didn’t even know channels like this existed. I have been listening to your videos while cleaning and getting so motivated. I also used to love that British show “How Clean is Your House”! 😂 I am so thankful I found your channel 😊

Agree with all this! Even as a SAHM, I use my planner religiously. I even created a “daily docket” for myself that has all my daily tasks as well as my weekly tasks that I can check off. It is so critical to have processes and systems to keep a well running household!

Yes! What an informative video. I struggle with the decor aspect. There are pieces that I would have loved to display and for some reason kept them stored away for the "someday" or "special occasion". Well that is going to change. Out with all the fine china and lovely paintings. I want to see beauty each and every day. TFS ☺

Thank you so much for this video! If you make videos going more in-depth about these 5 steps, I’ll be here taking notes! Confession: I want to make our home beautiful and inviting, but decorating is often the biggest challenge for me. So embarrassing! Something to work on for sure. Thanks again!

Hello my dear am a first timer on your channel just came across your videos just about a week now and I must say that I love this videos so much. Your advices are so we'll appreciated and they are so informative and helpful. Am a mom and mother of two adult children ages 33 and 30 young man and young lady in that order. I understand all you have been saying and have been doing a lot of what you advices and still does. Children never seem to grow up lol. And although they are helpful I still have to do a lot of what you're talking about. Am a house maker wife and mother and just that but it's alot and so a person is never to old to learn and am happy that I came across your videos. Am 54 years old and will be 55 on Saturday 19th February and yes you gave me inspiration. Keep up the good work and God bless you and your family you have a lovely bunch of kids.i was looking at the video where you spoke about being Chic under pressure when the people of the house gets angry and you yourself gets upset and it made me laugh am so a victim of going off the edge when my children gets me upset that they do excatly what you advices that I should do so I will try my best to behave and keep calm and my mouth shut. One thing I must say and find out is that you do so much and I was wondering if you don't take time out in the Sense of actually laying down and taking a rest a small nap or a cat nap as we call it in the Caribbean.It like a nap with you staying alert because I know you have small children. If you do say. And if you don't then I recommend it gives you renew strength and and energy to complete the days task.I love being a wife mother and homemaker and I love the way you go about your daily work with love pride and joy. Keep it up and have a great afternoon. Am from Trinidad and Tobago. Trinidad to be exact. Bye.

Great video! I appreciate all of this advice, and True Bill seems like an amazing service; I’ll be checking it out. I would be very interested in ore cleaning routine and decluttering videos. I have a cleaning routine, but on busy days, I sometimes don’t get to the cleaning. When that happens, I get behind on the cleaning and feel overwhelmed. I would love more decluttering strategies too-especially for drawers and closets!
