If Princess Diana was still around 😍

Hello Jeannie! I am so glad you are feeling better! I have been a subscriber for ages but this is my first ever comment. It made me so happy to hear about your mum and I am so excited for her! Sending much love from Germany xx

I’m an Older Person’s Mental Health Nurse in England and I just wanted to say it’s lovely to hear you speak about  your Mum. Dementia is so cruel. Wishing you both all the best xx

It's really sweet listening to you talk about your mom like this. I miss my mom so much

Thank you Jeannie for shooing away the Sunday scaries 😊

It’s absolutely wonderful hearing your mom is doing well in the care facility. Even more wonderful she is still with you. My mom passed 6 years ago, I was 47. Your openness about your life and thoughts and feelings about it are truly a gift to us all. These trips down memory lane are so satisfying. Thank you Jeannie 💕

Yes, 1 hour and 30 minutes! ❤

A cool idea I thought of would be if you could find old newspapers and read them to us ASMR style.

Nothing makes me happier than my Classical music while I'm knitting it's very calming and very relaxing 😌

My parents were in their 40s when they had me 45 years ago as an oopsie baby. They both grew up dirt floor poor (most don't realize being dirt poor comes from having dirt floors). We grew, raised, and bartered for almost all of our food because cash was seen as a luxury. Banks weren't to be trusted & everything was to be used until it couldn't be used for anything else. Note paper got wrote on 4 ways (write & turn 90 degrees, repeat until it was all used up & then it was toilet paper). Foil was washed, flattened, and saved for next time. Same with newspapers, rubber bands, grocery sacks, etc. Nothing was single use because that's just a waste of money. Cleaners and soaps were made.

I still have that mentality and it got reinforced from being homeless. I partake in convenience items but only buy on sale. Folks don't understand how little we really need to live and do it happily.

Such an important message today about conscious consumerism. Thank you for this 🩵🙏
You’re so right about the need to buy less and consume less things.
This is a mindful approach that is beneficial for our mind and wellbeing, for our pockets and savings and for the future and sustainability of our planet.
It's ultimately about consuming less, while making sure that what we do consume is sustainable products that are long-lasting and either reusable or made from recyclable and bio-based materials. And only buy things that you really need or make you happy

I downloaded this 50s radio station app on my ipad so i can listen to some old vintage music. ❤

I really needed to hear that wise counsel in the beginning thank you for reminding me what my priorities are and what I’m working towards. It isn’t for temporary things or to have the new materialistic purchase but something that lasts, because none of that will help me in an emergency

I really enjoy these retro videos from all the different decades.
My late mother was a teenager in the 1950’s,and said it was the best decade of her life especially with the music and times with her friends. The cars back then looked cool and in some respects better than today’s modern cars even though they lacked the safety.
Sadly, both my parents are gone now and I miss talking to them about the times they grew up.

So happy you are feeling better!This is wonderful you have these loving thoughts of your mother that you can always carry in your heart😘

Your mums home sounds wonderful.. I work as a memory therapy worker in the uk and have the privilege of providing cognitive stimulation therapy to people living with dementia.. and I love the lessons I learn from everyone I support.. their determination and positivity inspires me daily.. love to you and your mum 💕

The art in those ads is amazing. Can't believe the book doesn't include any Kodak ads.

This is what I've been begging more experienced people to do! Esp since I lost my grandma before I realized I'm obsessed with vintage. WALK US THRU THE TIMES AND TAKE US THERE 😊😊❤

Interesting illustrations being of a certain age I remember a lot of this.

My grandma and I were best friends. She was born in the 20’s and I’m 28. Since I was a child I was always so fascinated with the eras of her life , the times she grew up in and raised her 7 kids in. She taught me so much. To be frugal, but also stay well dressed 😝 Your time capsule videos make me feel closer to her, it’s a bittersweet feeling. She’s been gone 8 years now. Thank you so much for sharing your personal stories also. ❤
