10 Life-Changing Homemaking Secrets | Mrs. Beeton's Book of Household Management

I'm from the Dominican Republic and it still is very common to have home servants or help :) so the book is still very relevant today

I didn’t think I would really learn anything from this video (it just came on automatically following another video) but WOW. These were eye-openers. My house is always like a bomb went off and when I thought that it reflects my spirit, that really gave me pause for thought. I do suffer from depression and I do feel “sluggish” often as Mrs. Beeton worded it. Great video. PS, the “Dr. Johnson” she quotes is the famous Samuel Johnson.

Absolutely delightful and inspiring! Thank you!

I think you would love the book, "The Hidden Art of Homemaking" by Edith Schaeffer.

Please do more of this series!!!💞

Excellent!

But what if everything in the house comes down on one person because this is my situation and honestly it is draining me.

I'm going to buy this book- thank you

Hello from London. My mother gave me her copy when I was 15, my mother was gifted it as a teen. I've now purchased the newer versions as well. Great book.

I always loved the saying "a place for everything and everything in its place". I never knew that it was Mrs Beeton who said it in this book.

I have my princesa the shark robot, she cleans the floor after my two creatures that gets dirt from outside, the made my dishwasher on weekends when I cook yummy food 😋

More book reviews, please! ☺️

It's been years since I've read/listened to the first few Elsie Dinsmore books, but I wonder if you could pull homemaking secrets from them, too.

❤

I just found out that she (mrs. Beeton) and i share the same birth date, neat!

I would laugh at anybody that tried to tell me that homemaking was an easy job...... Not only do you have to keep up with absolutely everything and do absolutely everything on your own as close to perfect as you can without going insane you also have to be woman enough to make sure that you married a man that loves you and somehow make sure that throughout so many years you keep him! 🤣🤣

I love your makeup in this video. What products did you use?

Thank you for this! As a stay at home mom/homemaker and homeschool parent, I needed this to remind me that what I do counts! Where I live it’s a status symbol to brag with how you juggle a career, children and home and it eats away at my confidence when I don’t watch out and reaffirm why I do what I do.

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.

You know what Jennifer, I fell in love with your channel reading the magical morning and then realised that I have a new relationship with homemaking. I really want my home to feel beautiful and peaceful and your videos really help me continuing in that direction of love.❤️

I have a really really old copy of this. Book and ALL THE THINGS.... I do NOW..!!!! IN THOSE DAYS,,, THERE WERE NO LESS THAN 25 DIFFERENT SERVENTS!!!,, doing those chores ! ... NO WONDER I'M KNACKERED 😂😂😂

I really enjoyed the homemaking tips from the books you featured in this series and hope you do more soon. Thank you!

A treasured favorite. I first heard of this book from Ruth Goodman on the BBC series The Edwardian Farm. Excellent resource. Another favorite is Anna Maria’s House Keeping by Mrs Power.

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.

The most helpful thing I've purchased to help me are two cordless vacs. A simpler more inexpensive one for my downstairs which is hardwood and tile, and a good quality one for my carpeted upstairs. I've tucked them away on their charging ports in concealed yet convenient places so I easily can clean up anything as soon as it needs it. When I lived in small apartments my old fashioned plug in vac was definitely sufficient and I did vacuum almost everyday. Until I discovered cordless vacs I was embarrassed because I couldn't keep up and too tired to vacuum adequately. Now it is always clean again and I'm so thrilled and share this tip with everyone I know lol. God bless!

👍🏻

This video is so informative, thank you for sharing!

I would think the most important ones would be to take care of yourself and your space and love your yourself and your space.

My home says my spirit is "Chaos... absolute chaos." LOL

nice thank you when do you wake up

Wow,, you are so good ! I'm getting addicted to your videos.

I love this Jennifer, and add my resounding "Amen!"

Society worked better when women did not worked full time when they had children.

Total chaos!!! That is my soul now... And I am so depressed that I don't care I guess...

I don’t know how I found this video but I love everything about it. 💛

That was an excellent video! Very helpful and to the point!

WhenI l look around me, it says, "You are very tired,and almost due with a baby"😴 I wish I could afford a lady to help me do extra chores!

I really enjoyed this video! I am naturally a night person so waking up early has always been a stumbling block for me. But I see the benefits especially if you have little ones, if I go to bed late but then my babies need me at night, I don't sleep at all. However if your an early bird, you would go to sleep early and if your baby are up at night, at least you have a little sleep. It's the little things ❤️💕

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!

Thank you so much！

I have too much clutter but I do get up early (usually I wake up too early and can't go back to sleep). But I always try to be cheerful.

I wish I could’ve met Mrs. Beeton. It would’ve been a nice dinner

My house says I’m broken!

This made my day. A great challenge, but also encouragement

I never understood why people hate being a homemaker. My style isn’t perfect but I love being a mom and wife and I definitely love my home. So it reflects that again, not perfect but so warm and happy with great meals laughs and hugs

I loved this video. This is the first I’m watching you. I am an at home mother with a 9 and 1 year old. And I am constantly trying to keep a nice house hold. I had no idea that I was already doing this. My son has some chores, I wear an apron or house coat while I clean, I keep track of our expenses in a book, and I have an evening routine so the next day runs smoothly. One day I hope my house looks like a Pinterest picture. But I will strive for a mostly clean home, with my children fed and clothed nicely. Thank you for this. Lots of tips and inspiration
