Welcome to meditations on homemaking: a week in the life. In today's video, we do all sorts of baking: a blueberry breakfast cake that my son helped me with. I used canned blueberries for this as we are not able to get fresh fruit as often because of the quarantine and it turned out beautifully.



Before we discuss the video further, I would like to thank everyone who is taking my new eCourse, Carry Yourself with Poise.

Susan writes, "Thank you Jennifer, I am so glad to have discovered you. You are an encouragement to so many of us who want to set a good example of what it means to be a woman of "noble character" in a world that seems to have lost its way. You are appreciated!"

Thank you, Susan! I'm so happy you enjoyed the course!

Back to today's video...

My daughter and I also experimented with sourdough. We made a starter and four days later made the bread. It turned out well! My only critique is that it could have tasted more "sour", but the kids said it was the most delicious bread they ever had! Here is the recipe for the starter and the recipe for the San Francisco sourdough bread.

We are also planting potatoes in bags as an experiment this year. I got a 3-pack of potato growing bags and we are growing Princess Larette and Blue potatoes. I am still waiting for my sweet potatoes to come in. I ordered the potato shoots from Burpee. So far I am still waiting for the shoots to appear. Once they do, I will add more layers of soil until it comes to the top. I will keep you updated on how the potatoes do!

Homemaking can be beautiful, rewarding, and deeply satisfying. I hope you enjoy today's video.

One change I’m looking forward to going forward is a life less cluttered. I have purged previously and then gave up. I am going to start decluttering this week and when the charity shops re-open there will be things to drop off. This is just one of the lifestyle changes I’m contemplating. #madamechic #jenniferlscott #decluttering #mariekondo #lifechangingmagicoftidyingup #alifelesscluttered #aparedbacklifestyleofquality

Comment of the Week
Lynn from SoCal writes, "Hello ladies,

One really doesn't see people dressed well very often, but I am reminded of a time quite recently while waiting at a red light when I saw something a bit unusual.

I was leaving a shopping center and there was a parking lot of a restaurant to my left. As I sat in my car waiting for the light to turn green, I looked over and what caught my eye was an older gentlemen, in a full suit (including fedora hat!) exiting a car. The man walked over to the passenger side of the car, opened the door. Exit an older lady, also dressed to the nines in a dress that hit just below the knees, sensible heels, nylons and the requisite leather handbag.

As he offered her his arm and they walked toward the restaurant, all I could think was, "I love them!"

And by the way, the restaurant? McDonald's. It was a Sunday and they had probably just come from church, but I still thought they were fabulous and the sight of them made my day.

Lynn"

Hello Lynn, I loved your observations of the older couple. I enjoy people watching for this very reason. Thanks for sharing this charming story.

I hope you enjoyed today's video. I'll see you soon!

Take my affordable eCourses on the POISE *NEW course*, debt-free living, and efficiency at home


FTC: Today's video is not sponsored. I use affiliate links, including Amazon affiliate links.

If our clothing tells a story, what narrative to pajamas and sweatpants tell? Also, New Zealanders are embracing #FormalFridays and one women wears a dress as a uniform. Welcome to 3 articles on the subject of dress.



I hope you had a lovely weekend... Happy Easter! We had a beautiful day even though we were on lockdown. It was relaxing and peaceful. So relaxing that I didn't get my work done and that's why this video is late :)

Also, thank you to everyone who has taken my new eCourse, Carry Yourself With Poise. It is a wonderfully fun course filled with passionate like-minded women who are all committed to living an elegant lifestyle.

Cheryl S. writes, "Jennifer, your content and advice is perfect. I appreciate that you share some of your own failures and struggles. I feel the pursuit of elegance and poise is a lifelong endeavor and we will make mistakes along the way. But, I believe the cost vs. the benefit of elegance and dignity is so worth the effort. Thanks for your inspiration."

Thank you so much, Cheryl. I am so happy you enjoyed the course!

Ok, now on to the 3 Articles on Dress:

The first article on the narrative of sweatpants was sent to me by Ginger W. from The Washington Post.

"To work from home and never take off your pajamas can, at first, feel like a kind of liberation — a celebration of comfort and a rebuke to stuffy corporate rules that demand pantyhose in summer and a jacket at all times. But going through an entire day in loungewear, it is easy to lose yourself and your sense of purpose and focus. Our clothes create boundaries. They mark time. Folks who regularly work from home speak of the need to change out of their pajamas into something, anything else to announce their day has begun. To not feel like a sloth. To feel ready to face the world because without the world, who are you?"

The next article on #FormalFridays in New Zealand was sent to me by Charlene R.

Finally, my friend, Joy Forney, sent me this article from Glamour Magazine on wearing a dress as a uniform.

I would love to know your thoughts on all of the articles discussed...

Comment of the Week
Camilla writes, "How wonderful! I have enrolled now. Will take my time and enjoy this course.
I have learned so much from you over the years, Jennifer. I have one story I wish to share with you: back in 2015 I was finishing my Bachelor’s degree at university. I was writing my final paper and did all the work from home. So, I went around in sweatpants and told myself that I had to pour all my energy into my writing and not care about something as silly as clothes and appearance. But one day I stopped and looked at myself in the mirror. I realized that I looked as tired as my outfit. I had read your book the previous year and followed your blog, so I had learned how important looking presentable really is. So, from that day onwards I took some time each morning to put on a nice outfit and do my hair. And what a difference that made to how I worked with my paper! I ended up with a solid A and I am absolutely certain that I would not have achieved that result had I not followed your advice. So, thank you so much for all that you share with us, it really makes a difference and improves lives."

Camilla, I loved your testimony of how looking presentable helped you achieve your goals. Thank you for sharing it with us and congratulations!


I would love to know your thoughts on all of the articles discussed... let us know in the comments and your comment could be chosen as comment of the week!

Take my affordable eCourses on the POISE *NEW course*, debt-free living, and efficiency at home


FTC: Today's video is not sponsored. I use affiliate links, including Amazon affiliate links.

Hello Daily Connoisseurs,

I've been working on my new eCourse, Carry Yourself with Poise, for the past five months and it is finally ready.



This course has well over two hours of video instruction and covers both the "seen" and the "unseen" aspects of what it takes to be an elegant lady.

We live in a world that does not value elegance and poise as it used to, but that does not mean it is not valuable. In fact, it is more valuable than ever as I discuss in today's announcement video.

I look forward to seeing you on the eCourse.

Have a wonderful Easter weekend.

With love,

Jennifer xx

Welcome to the Ten-Item Wardrobe Talk-Through for Spring/Summer 2020.



I discuss each piece in my ten-item wardrobe in today's video. This process has been particularly fun for me as I move out of the nursing and maternity phase that I have been in for so long. This accounts for many of the newer items this year. Last spring I was still in maternity/ nursing clothing full time.

I have eleven core items this year... Please remember, it's not about the "ten". Ten is used as a guide post for forming the core of your capsule wardrobe. If you've been following me for several years you'll know that some seasons I have ten core items, other seasons I'll have 12 or 13 or even 9. It doesn't matter.

Let's have a look at each of the core items.

*SKYE Risette Dress code Jennifer20 for 20% off. SKYE is an elevated minimalist brand. I adore their simple, yet stylish clothing. They have excellent hem lengths and thoughtful designs.


This blue & white floral dress is from Universal Thread at Target, but it is sold out, so I am linking a similar find here from Lulu's.


White linen dress. This is sold out so I am listing two very similar options from Lulu's here and here. Here is a link to all midi dresses at Target.


Draper James Chambray shift dress I love the Parisian minimalist look of this dress and find it to be a very versatile piece. I ordered a size up.


Mott & Bow dark denim jean JLS10 for 10% off and white blouse from Loft (sold out, so I am listing Loft's blouses here).


Mott & Bow white jean JLS10 for 10% off


Lulu’s black floral jumpsuit This jumpsuit is so comfortable and fashionable. I just love it.


Morning Lavender jumpsuit (sold out, so I am linking to Morning Lavender's jumpsuit selection here) Another lovely jumpsuit option that helps me to look presentable. It's also very easy to move in.


This pretty Loft blouse from last season is sold out, so I am listing Loft's current blouses here.

Let's have a look at some of the extras just from this year's wardrobe.


MerSea travel wrap in grey This is an elegant and beautiful wrap that comes in many different colors.



Gingham tee shirt is sold out, but I am listing a similar gingham blouse here. (Please note: this blouse I am linking is not a tee).


This casual red and white stripe tee is a fun take on the usual nautical strips I have this time of year.


The Très Chic sweatshirt is a fun, boatneck style vintage sweatshirt. It's a fun casual look.



Let's have a look at the new jewelry. These were sent to me by SKYE.

SKYE Léa 18K gold freshwater pearl earrings Jennifer20 for 20% off. These classic earrings with a twist feature hand-wrapped 18K gold threads and lustrous organic pearls for a delicate and timeless finish.


SKYE Opale 18K gold freshwater pearl earrings Jennifer20 for 20% off. These striking earrings bring an "off-kilter glamor" to everyday looks. They feature hand-wrapped 18K gold threads and lustrous organic pearls.


SKYE Azilis 18K gold freshwater pearl brooch Jennifer20 for 20% off. This unique and quirky brooch adds an artful flourish to your outfit. It has the same hand-wrapped 18K gold threads and beautiful organic pearls.


SKYE Issey necklace 18K gold freshwater pearl Jennifer20 for 20% off. This subtly beautiful pendant necklace has the same spun gold theme. The beautiful freshwater pearls accentuate the classic look.


Lilysilk silk scrunchies

The shoes featured in today's video are:
Sam Edelman Gigi nude patent sandal
Sam Edelman leopard sandal

Two good resources for spring shoes:
Spanish Sandal Co. a good resource for sandals.
Oliver Cabell a good resource for comfy flats.

Comment of the Week
Kathy writes, "Jennifer,
I love seeing the capsule wardrobe. Only one piece really surprised me, an all white dress.
It just seems so highly impractical for a busy mom and homemaker. Perhaps this is for date night?"


Hi Kathy, we will see how the white dress holds up. I might shoot a day in the life video wearing it and we can see what it looks like at the end of the day. Ha! Thanks for watching :)

I hope you enjoyed today's talk-through. I'll see you tomorrow on the channel with a homeschooling tips video.

Comment of the Week
Regarding my homemade yogurt video, This and That with Denise Jordan writes, "I thought it was too funny about you accidentally punching the second loaf of bread. I can just see you leaning out the window and your hand going into the loaf accidentally. I thought only I made those kind of mistakes. Thank you for sharing, it was nice."


Hi Denise, when I accidentally punched the rising bread loaf, I just couldn't believe it. Of all the things for me to lean on... it had to be that! Haha!

I hope you all enjoyed today's fashion show. Be sure to tune in to the talk-through later in the week. I look forward to hearing how your own ten-item wardrobes are coming along. Please let us know and your comment could be chosen as comment of the week on The Daily Connoisseur.

I'm making bread and yogurt from scratch in today's video....



The taste of homemade yogurt and bread far surpasses anything you could buy. I love making yogurt, especially and am excited to finally share my method with you in today's video.



This is a very simple bread recipe pulled from Bread World. There are instructions for using rapid rise yeast at that link too.

5-1/2 to 6 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
2 (4-1/2 tsp.) Active Dry Yeast
2 teaspoons salt
1-1/2 cups water
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter

Place 1/2 cup warm water (100° to 110°F) in a large warm bowl. Sprinkle in dry yeast and 1 teaspoon sugar; stir. Let sit 5 to 10 minutes, until foamy on top. Add remaining 1 cup water, milk, butter, sugar, salt and 4 cups flour. Mix well using the medium speed of an electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover; let rise in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 45 to 60 minutes.

Punch dough down. Divide dough in half. Roll each half to 12 x 7-inch rectangle. Beginning at short end of each rectangle, rollup tighly as for jelly roll. Pinch seams and ends to seal. Place, seam sides down, ingreased 8-1/2 x 4-1/2 inch loaf pans. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.

Bake at 400°F for 25 to 30 minutes or until done. Remove from pans; cool on wire rack.


To Make Whole Wheat Bread: Substitute 2 cups whole wheat flour for part of all purpose flour.




Take one quart of milk (I find whole milk works best) and cook until almost at a boil (the edges bubble) or 180 degrees F. Remove from heat and let cool to 110 degrees F. Then take one cup of the milk and set it aside to mix in the culture. Then pour that one cup and culture back into the quart and mix well. **Please note: if you don't have culture, you can use 1/4 cup of yogurt with culture in it.** Pour evenly into your yogurt glasses (do not put the lids on the glasses, those are only for refrigeration). Then place the large lid of the yogurt maker on and leave alone for 8 to 12 hours. Turn the yogurt maker off, place a lid on each individual cup, and refrigerate. Top with berries, jam, honey, or sweetener of your choice.

Here are the links to everything used:
Yogurt maker
Another yogurt maker option
Extra yogurt containers set of 8
pyrex dish one quart
yogurt thermometer
yogurt culture option 1
yogurt culture option 2
yogurt culture option 3
yogurt culture option 4

copper measuring cups
KitchenAid mixer
loaf pans

Dear Sarah, yes! I am glad that The Chic Assignment is carrying on. This video today relates to Chic Assignment 3, which is to make something from scratch.

I hope you enjoy today's video! I would love to know... do you make yogurt from scratch? What about bread? What are your favorite recipes?
