I was married in 1970 and had my son in 1972. And,yes, today's conveniences would surely have been great through those years. I have been chuckling listening to you talking about the '70's like they were 100 years ago. Although in thinking about my years then it seems like it was 100 years!
When my kids ask if we had cars and tvs back in the “old days” lol we laugh. It does feel like just yesterday but really when I do the math I’m like dang!! I was born in the 80’s and it’s 2023. I remember thinking that would be the space age lol
Thank you so much for this video! I loved hearing about the book! I was born in ‘70 and I watched what my mom used to do to take care of the house. My dad was very controlling and did not allow her to have friends. My grandmother and I were her only friends. She came up with genius ideas to cook and clean and keep the house. She would be a major you tuber if we had it back then. She could take any cheap little item and make it look expensive. She cooked and baked and made holidays awesome. She put in a ceiling fan on her own. I remember us being on the floor together staining it. Taught me about how to recycle, and she grew vegetables. I don’t know how she did it with my dad and 4 kids. Thanks again, It was a blessing hearing about the book.
1970 baby I grew up in the best decade! Best cars best music 🎶 lol. My mother kept a very clean & organized home growing up. Her best tip was start in 1 room & finish! Don't go room to room all over the house. It's not as overwhelming to focus on 1 room at a time. She also did a load of laundry 🧺 every day and NEVER was behind with it. Beds were made first thing.. she was organized and she definitely had a routine. Yes we used linen napkins! Lol 😆 loved hearing you read portions of the book. Love your new decor the black 🖤 wall piece is GORGEOUS 🥰🥰🥰
Good morning! I think having the photos on the mall would look fantastic. Especially since the entry door is right there and when people come in and look tot he left they will see your beautiful family photos on the wall ❤ Love your videos! Also so motivating!!
The office furniture color is actually perfect, cause it is light, and kinda invisible, like it dosent just out at u, I love this set up area so much!!
I love your videos! ( and instastories) Your voice is so calming and relaxing. Love your home and I was born in 63! I wasn’t as fortunate growing up with all of the niceties we have now, but times were so much more simpler and slower paced. I loved being a teen in the 70’s and wish at times we could go back to simpler times, but I’ll just enjoy my memories and the niceties that we have today. Thanks for being you! 😊
I loved listening to you share the tips from the book! It’s definitely nice having our modern day conveniences 😅 I really like the chatty videos so I have something to listen to (besides the music) while I clean and let your videos play ❤
I loved listening to you read from the old book of tips. It reminded me of when I inherited all of my husband’s grandmother’s craft supplies. There was an old cross stitch pattern in her belongings that said, “A Loving Family: Doing things for each other not in the attitude of duty, but in the spirit of joy.” I think you try to keep adding a spirit of joy when cleaning your house, so that is probably what keeps me watching you videos. Keep up the great work!
I absolutely loved listening to you read those tips from the housewives of the 70’s!! Not only is it super helpful, but it’s fascinating how even 50 years later the same core concepts are being shared, just in ways that were more conducive to that particular era. I love nostalgia!! And the best part is Mrs. Jessica, you’re changing things up by sharing this which is so refreshing!! You’re absolutely one of my faves!!
Another great video! Lots of giggles, TON of motivation and just awesome ideas of decor. I love the book! I want it. Thanks for sharing! I think you should try the pictures on that wall. It’ll be a hit. Have a great weekend! See you on your next video!
Great video Jessie I got married in 1974 when we purchased our first home the previous owner asked if we wanted the washing and dryer I of course said yes. My mom had a wringer washer when I was growing up. Thanks for the memories!
Oh I bet you were over the moon about that! I remember not having one and I remember our first. It was a stackable one that sounded like a Harley when it ran lol but I was just happy to have one.
I was a young housewife and mother in the 70’s. I can remember coming home from a Tupperware party feeling so jealous because my neighbor had just gotten a dishwasher. I threw such a fit until my husband agreed to go to Sears with me to pick one out. I was however, one of the first in the neighborhood to have an Electrolux canister vacuum. It was the perfect thing to vacuum my red mini shag carpet. Yes I am old.
Loved this so much! I adore the art of homemaking and am obsessed with all books that have tips like this. I also LOL at the rubbers too😂 glad I’m Not alone
I graduated high school in 1968. We moved into our house in 1960 and we had a dishwasher. Disconcerting to me to hear you talk about the 70's like it is 150 years ago! lol..
Hello happy Friday l love the video and l"m really loving the behind the scenes 🥰🥰 I kept going back the behind-the-scenes are making my heart happy have a safe weekend 😊😊
Oh I love the idea of putting the pictures on the wall. I think you would love coming in and seeing the family photos instead of the bookshelf and the black would look great with the banister.
Hi Jessi, I love your home. 🏠 It's beautiful. Listening to you reading that book 📖brought back a lot of memories for me as I'm 63. Yes we do have it made nowadays. I love your new decor. 🪟Yes I would move your shelf in your office and put 4-6 frames up there. I think it would look beautiful when walking into your home for everyone to see. Hanky is getting so big and he's so adorable 🥰 Was it a blow out?? lol See you on the next one. 🙋♀👏💪💖
Hearing all these tips are so fun! Going back to basics has been my motto lately. Slowing down, making as much as I can by hand and enjoying homemaking.
Love the new console table, wall decor above it and the new baskets on shelf. The only thing I would change on the top is perhaps remove a couple things so it doesn't look so busy?? But, having said that, you need to make it pleasing to you. I love the color of your office furniture. I have always loved home decor that is not so matchy matchy from room to room. I love that you have different furniture tones throughout your house. It makes it feel homey. By the way, the new candles in diningroom look great!! They really pop! Love your videos and the book tips were so fun. Hope you share more.
Thank you! I think that’s my issue too it feels busy and one other person mentioned try adding diff levels and sizes of things and I agree. It’s kind of flat lol. I’ll figure it out eventually!
I love the 3 and 3 idea of family portraits on the wall! I’ve seen a lot of ppl with a wall of matching frames with family portraits! I love the way it looks! I have a super long hallway so I have a lot of portraits in there, and I’m currently working on finding matching frames bc I think it will look better! I can’t seem to find enough matching frames that I love tho!
This was such a fun video! I loved what you shared from the book. The new candles and decor look great. I think the picture frames would look great on that wall. 🥰
Yes , i need this today thanks jessi for this motivating video love your vids and channel u are one of my favorite & one of the best have blessed and great week🥰😍
I love the new decorations I love how it turned out💗 everything looks so good:) I would get her other basket for the bottom it looks so good the book is cool
Just love the console. Love how you decorated it. The darker colour is more cozy and inviting. I do suggest a larger entryway carpet entering more into the foyer. Love your home.
I love how you changed it up a little. It looks great. And for your new console table you could separate the 2 baskets and maybe put something small in between them, that way the basket can hide your plug outlet.
i I LOVE the new decor! It’s so pretty! It was so fun hearing those tips from the 70s. What a neat book! I agree with you on the yellow table in the dining room…i think the other table would match better-the one your hubby made. I love your house…i watch you to get decor inspo! You are my favorite on YT!
@@KeepCalmAndClean I’ve been the same way! I just finished having the rest of the house painted repose grey as well , and now I don’t want to ruin it with any holes 😅 I just have decor laying around waiting to be hung 🤪
I love all the new decor pieces that you’ve put up! Looks amazing!! I think for your office would look awesome for 6 pictures to go above your printer especially with the black frames!
Loved hearing the tips and ideas from the book! My mother in law gave me a super old child rearing book and one of the tips in the pregnancy section was....to ensure you have a beautiful baby, try not to think about ugly people
I listened while I cleaned my kitchen today, but i really loved hearing all those tips!! Thank you for sharing that with us. The conveniences we have today are so nice, but back in the day some methods were simple & effective & in some areas of my life, im striving for that!😄
I loved hearing those quotes from that book it's all so true I was born in 1974 and I ALWAY'S think how much easier LIFE would of been for my mom compared to back then!😊
I loved those quotes and tips!!! But .. I also like the music so it's a hard decision!!! You do what you feel like!! Thanks again for the motivation and your time
I find stories, tips and tricks from different decades to be so magical and interesting i know a lot of people served God, their husband and home full time back in the 50s all the way to probably 80s i love listening to older ladies memories and things they did back then that we probably dont do now. Your home is gorgeous by the way.
I grew up in the 60s and 70s true we didn't have all the tex we have today but life was so much better back then I sure miss those days if I could go back in time it would be to the 60s and 70s we didn't have hobby lobby but we had sears Montgomery wards and kressgees oh I miss those days ❤️
For your new table to block the register I would buy a long rectangle wicker basket, like 18-24 long and put like greenery or grasses in it and have the them be airy, flowey , that would not block the vent, just pull it out a bit, have it sit more to the right on the table, and on the bak right corner some thing tall to balance it all out.
I loved hearing these things because they definitely make sense! I really like your office. I liked the chair that you had in it where the vacuum is now. I would just add some black accents to your office. Maybe just try moving the cabinets around and see what you like. But it really flow’s good in your house. Ok girl I keep looking at that candle warmer and I’ve got to have one! Now I can’t decide black or white? Lol. Off to Amazon I go! Lol. Hope you have a wonderful week!
Love your new decor! I think with your office I would try it and see I think it would look good. I like hearing about how they did stuff back in the day so that was very interesting would love to hear more! Thanks for sharing now it’s time to go clean my home 😂
One simple thing you could do with the air return vent is to paint it the same color as your wall. It will blend in with the wall and you will forget it’s there. Just a thought.
Love your videos as always. To bad you can't bottle up all your energy. You would make a fortune!!! I graduated from high school in 1976 and that book brought back a lot of memories. Thanks for sharing 😊
Have you ever thought about a rolling clothes hanging rack . I just saw a TikTok video of some who had one in their laundry room . I think it could be a great idea , especially for me since my house doesn't have a second floor and easy for hard depressive weeks ! Love ya hope you are doing good !
I really like the new table and decorating pieces you got. They look great! I think it would look nice if you switched those furniture pieces in your office but it also looks very good how it is now too.
I loved hearing you read from the book. It's so interesting and definitely makes me appreciate all the conveniences of today. I LOVE your lanterns with the candles that you hung on your wall. I do think it would look nice to have the pictures over your filing cabinet. I think maybe six of them though. I do love your office the way it is though. I'm torn and no help at all. I think the candle warmers are neat. I love candles, but not really the smell they have after you blow them out, so I feel like that would eliminate that.
It totally does and some candles I noticed kind of smelled like that while burning and this also eliminates that. I love them and they are safer for me anyways because I’m to forgetful!
I really enjoyed hearing the tips. I found it calming to listen to but girl you had me crying with the rubber comment because the same thing came to my mind when I heard it 😂
This is so funny, I just got a portable dishwasher last week 2023. I've been hand washing for 30, plus all the canning jars...I think it will help with that, but it takes 2 hours for it to run. Took me 10 minutes....LOL 😂
@@KeepCalmAndClean I will, thanks. I liked that you compared, things of the past. There is another author from the 50's..."Hints from Heloise" good books
Yassss I neeed the motivation this morning & a mt dew. I have a whole house reset I need to get done today. Thankfully my house is only 1400sq but still. Love you ❤
Me and husband are retired, although he works part time. I don’t clean everyday. Some days I jus make our bed and sweep. I wash twice a week and fold them and put them away when I get ready. My husband says I “have it made” and I do. I’m thankful for him for taking care of me and all these years. The girls are on their own and married. My oldest works for a law firm and the two youngest are nurses. I am so Blessed.I thank the Lord every day for him. Stay Blessed y’all.
I love those candle sticks! Putting them in my Amazon cart now. I have been looking for decor to use on my buffet and was struggling with what to put there and I think these would be perfect! Btw I love hearing those tips from the past, I like how you switch things up and keep things interesting.
Try the velcro command strips for pictures but use one on every corner + in the middles so it will hold the weight. Some people think they can just use one or two and it will hold but I use all that's in the pack to hold the specific weight it shows
you should get tan colored curtins for your office with iron curtin rids . Hang them higher then the window trim approx 6in higher then the top of the window. you could also do the bamboo blinds in the Java color to get the darker wood color
Move the bookcase in between the windows. Then move your desk to face the printer stand but away from the wall enough to have your desk chair. The desk would line up about with the window. The pictures will be hung be hind your desk. Turning your desk will also help with any glare on your monitor. It will also allow room to place a chair in front of the desk.
There is not room between the windows and I love my desk how it is. I just wasn’t sure if I wanted to hang pics on that wall or just leave the bookcase.
Hi Jessie! To see if you would like the pictures or like the layout of pictures in your office, get you some craft paper or poster board and cut out the sizes of the frames and use painters tape to attach to the walls. You could get a feel if you'd like it without damaging the walls. Oh, and I knew you were going to go there with the rubbers. 🤣 I spit out my drink.
hey Jessie 👋 how are you? and your beautiful family? all my girlfriends luv your videos!! ready to clean❤ !! luv your advice and cleaning motivation!! thank you! the 70s were definitely something!! luv from somerville Massachusetts!!!❤☺☺☺☺
I like the bookcase where it is as it looks nicer looking at that decor than it would be looking at a printer as you enter the house. Is there room between the windows to hang the pictures vertically (probably not more than 3 since they look fairly large)?
So I’ve only gotten through the first half of your video and had to comment. Otherwise I won’t remember everything. Lol. First, I loved you sharing the tips from that old book. I think it’s crazy not much has changed. The things they mentioned are easily translated the same today. There are still plenty of people that do not have the luxury of a washer and dryer in their home. Every apartment I lived in I had to go to a laundry mat. Especially in college. Please continue to add those. 😀 then with your office area. Maybe try hanging the frames vertically between your windows. You may also consider raising your curtain rods to really elongate that wall and especially if the frames would be spaced higher than the current curtain rod height. I agree with your things on your console table. They are all about the same height. I think a taller skinny lamp would look better with a dark shade in place of the little one you have sitting on the stool. Also maybe incorporate some metal and something glass. Having a variety of the elements like in Feng Shui really balance a space. (Earth, fire, water, metal and wood) the plant would be earth, a candle or lamp is fire, and glass is water. Obviously you have wood and metal. Maybe something to compliment the drawer pulls? Ok, think I’ve contributed enough…got to finish the rest of the video. Don’t be surprised if I have a comment Part 2. Lol
I have been loving the tide and bleach cleaning method but…I have ruined so many clothes! Or should I say gained more cleaning clothes. I give you major props for cleaning with bleach…I don’t know how you do it so elegantly (for lack of another word lol). Love this video! 🤗
I was married in 1970 and had my son in 1972. And,yes, today's conveniences would surely have been great through those years. I have been chuckling listening to you talking about the '70's like they were 100 years ago. Although in thinking about my years then it seems like it was 100 years!
When my kids ask if we had cars and tvs back in the “old days” lol we laugh. It does feel like just yesterday but really when I do the math I’m like dang!! I was born in the 80’s and it’s 2023. I remember thinking that would be the space age lol
I agree the same for me got married in 1970 and had my daughter in 1974. I still don’t have a automated dishwasher. The memories
@@Betty-sn7sv I was also born in 1974. That was a great year for babies. Haha 🙂

Hi Jessi, I love your home. 🏠 It's beautiful. Listening to you reading that book 📖brought back a lot of memories for me as I'm 63. Yes we do have it made nowadays. I love your new decor. 🪟Yes I would move your shelf in your office and put 4-6 frames up there. I think it would look beautiful when walking into your home for everyone to see.

I love the 3 and 3 idea of family portraits on the wall! I’ve seen a lot of ppl with a wall of matching frames with family portraits! I love the way it looks! I have a super long hallway so I have a lot of portraits in there, and I’m currently working on finding matching frames bc I think it will look better! I can’t seem to find enough matching frames that I love tho!
Thank you! Try amazon. I’m finding a lot on there!
I love the idea of the pictures in your office! It'll carry the black into that room. Great video!

Hi Jess, I loved this , the book was very interesting . I've been meaning to ask what is that round thing you use to remove the wax from your warmer?

Glad you enjoyed it!
For your new table to block the register I would buy a long rectangle wicker basket, like 18-24 long and put like greenery or grasses in it and have the them be airy, flowey , that would not block the vent, just pull it out a bit, have it sit more to the right on the table, and on the bak right corner some thing tall to balance it all out.
I like either 3 or 6 pictures on the wall. Uneven numbers of things are always best.
I love the super chatty!!!
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoy it.
That book is so fun and cute!!!!
Also- just put pics on either side of the shelf!!
You did a great job camouflaging the vent. You could paint the vent the the same color as the wall.
That’s what I think I am going to do!
I loved hearing these things because they definitely make sense! I really like your office. I liked the chair that you had in it where the vacuum is now. I would just add some black accents to your office. Maybe just try moving the cabinets around and see what you like. But it really flow’s good in your house. Ok girl I keep looking at that candle warmer and I’ve got to have one! Now I can’t decide black or white? Lol. Off to Amazon I go! Lol. Hope you have a wonderful week!
I think they have a red one too. They are so pretty! And then do work so good. I especially love the timer on them.
Thank you!
@@KeepCalmAndClean sounds great 👍 Thank you!
Omg love this! More storytelling please 🙏
I think that would look really good for the office with the family pictures.
Thank you!
Thank you for another great video!
Wishing Hank a belated 2nd birthday!
Thank you!
I love the book. I'm a '72 girl, I guess 50 years was a long time ago LOL! I think the furniture swap is a great idea.
Yea it’s hard to believe it’s 2023. When you say 1970 it seems forever ago!
Love your new decor! I think with your office I would try it and see I think it would look good. I like hearing about how they did stuff back in the day so that was very interesting would love to hear more! Thanks for sharing now it’s time to go clean my home 😂
Thank you so much!
One simple thing you could do with the air return vent is to paint it the same color as your wall. It will blend in with the wall and you will forget it’s there. Just a thought.
I had thought of that actually. A little scared to take the jump but I do agree with you! Maybe now I will do it.
I absolutely love the book! I actually am going to get it.
Yay! It’s so fun!
Love your videos as always. To bad you can't bottle up all your energy. You would make a fortune!!! I graduated from high school in 1976 and that book brought back a lot of memories. Thanks for sharing 😊
Have you ever thought about a rolling clothes hanging rack . I just saw a TikTok video of some who had one in their laundry room . I think it could be a great idea , especially for me since my house doesn't have a second floor and easy for hard depressive weeks ! Love ya hope you are doing good !
I talked about you and your sheets in my video today 😂 I need to look at the ones you have!!
I really like the new table and decorating pieces you got. They look great! I think it would look nice if you switched those furniture pieces in your office but it also looks very good how it is now too.
Thank you!
I loved hearing you read from the book. It's so interesting and definitely makes me appreciate all the conveniences of today. I LOVE your lanterns with the candles that you hung on your wall. I do think it would look nice to have the pictures over your filing cabinet. I think maybe six of them though. I do love your office the way it is though. I'm torn and no help at all. I think the candle warmers are neat. I love candles, but not really the smell they have after you blow them out, so I feel like that would eliminate that.
It totally does and some candles I noticed kind of smelled like that while burning and this also eliminates that. I love them and they are safer for me anyways because I’m to forgetful!
I really enjoyed hearing the tips. I found it calming to listen to but girl you had me crying with the rubber comment because the same thing came to my mind when I heard it 😂
🤣🤣
Very interesting, yes love the book.like what all you done.
This is so funny, I just got a portable dishwasher last week 2023. I've been hand washing for 30, plus all the canning jars...I think it will help with that, but it takes 2 hours for it to run. Took me 10 minutes....LOL 😂
Haha true! Enjoy it tho!!
@@KeepCalmAndClean I will, thanks. I liked that you compared, things of the past. There is another author from the 50's..."Hints from Heloise" good books
Yassss I neeed the motivation this morning & a mt dew. I have a whole house reset I need to get done today. Thankfully my house is only 1400sq but still. Love you ❤
My kind of girl with a Mt. Dew!
Me
and husband are retired, although he works part time. I don’t clean everyday. Some days I jus make our bed and sweep. I wash twice a week and fold them and put them away when I get ready. My husband says I “have it made” and I do. I’m thankful for him for taking care of me and all these years. The girls are on their own and married. My oldest works for a law firm and the two youngest are nurses. I am so Blessed.I thank the Lord every day for him. Stay Blessed y’all.
I love those candle sticks! Putting them in my Amazon cart now. I have been looking for decor to use on my buffet and was struggling with what to put there and I think these would be perfect! Btw I love hearing those tips from the past, I like how you switch things up and keep things interesting.
Absolutely loved this video!! I cannot miss your videos so so good!!
Thank you so much!!
Try the velcro command strips for pictures but use one on every corner + in the middles so it will hold the weight. Some people think they can just use one or two and it will hold but I use all that's in the pack to hold the specific weight it shows
you should get tan colored curtins for your office with iron curtin rids . Hang them higher then the window trim approx 6in higher then the top of the window. you could also do the bamboo blinds in the Java color to get the darker wood color
Move the bookcase in between the windows. Then move your desk to face the printer stand but away from the wall enough to have your desk chair. The desk would line up about with the window. The pictures will be hung be hind your desk. Turning your desk will also help with any glare on your monitor. It will also allow room to place a chair in front of the desk.
There is not room between the windows and I love my desk how it is. I just wasn’t sure if I wanted to hang pics on that wall or just leave the bookcase.
The new decor looks great! Using a few books as risers could give some variation in height.
Hi Jessie! To see if you would like the pictures or like the layout of pictures in your office, get you some craft paper or poster board and cut out the sizes of the frames and use painters tape to attach to the walls. You could get a feel if you'd like it without damaging the walls. Oh, and I knew you were going to go there with the rubbers. 🤣 I spit out my drink.
Hahaha!!
And I wish they made black tape that would be helpful haha!
hey Jessie 👋 how are you? and your beautiful family? all my girlfriends luv your videos!! ready to clean❤ !! luv your advice and cleaning motivation!! thank you! the 70s were definitely something!! luv from somerville Massachusetts!!!❤☺☺☺☺
Hi where did you find the candles on your coffee table love those. ? Thank you
Thank you. Have an amazing weekend!
I like the bookcase where it is as it looks nicer looking at that decor than it would be looking at a printer as you enter the house. Is there room between the windows to hang the pictures vertically (probably not more than 3 since they look fairly large)?
I’d put the printer on the bookshelf but yea it’s hard because it looks nice how it is. “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it” haha
So I’ve only gotten through the first half of your video and had to comment. Otherwise I won’t remember everything. Lol. First, I loved you sharing the tips from that old book. I think it’s crazy not much has changed. The things they mentioned are easily translated the same today. There are still plenty of people that do not have the luxury of a washer and dryer in their home. Every apartment I lived in I had to go to a laundry mat. Especially in college. Please continue to add those. 😀 then with your office area. Maybe try hanging the frames vertically between your windows. You may also consider raising your curtain rods to really elongate that wall and especially if the frames would be spaced higher than the current curtain rod height. I agree with your things on your console table. They are all about the same height. I think a taller skinny lamp would look better with a dark shade in place of the little one you have sitting on the stool. Also maybe incorporate some metal and something glass. Having a variety of the elements like in Feng Shui really balance a space. (Earth, fire, water, metal and wood) the plant would be earth, a candle or lamp is fire, and glass is water. Obviously you have wood and metal. Maybe something to compliment the drawer pulls? Ok, think I’ve contributed enough…got to finish the rest of the video. Don’t be surprised if I have a comment Part 2. Lol
P.s. loved you reading from that 1970s book. So interesting!
I have been loving the tide and bleach cleaning method but…I have ruined so many clothes! Or should I say gained more cleaning clothes. I give you major props for cleaning with bleach…I don’t know how you do it so elegantly (for lack of another word lol). Love this video! 🤗
I honestly don’t either because I’m not graceful 🤣
Nice change, 2 baskets looking 👍.
I love your idea for the photos!
Thank you! Coming from you that’s a huge compliment!
Tucker freaking dipped out in the house I’m dying 🤣🤣
Hahaha he’s a nut!
I love your decor!!! I wish I had this trait lol I can't design to save my life.
