OMG I am in LOVE with this. I’m 40 and have been a SAHM for the better part of the last decade. I for the most part have strived to live my life in this sort of way, but the way you explain and describe everything is perfection. 🤓
This is just wonderful! I am often desiring to add whimsy in my home & mundane chores; but life is pretty full; but this was a large dose of inspiration.🩷💖thank you.
It’s all about the mindset— isn’t it? While making menus feels out of my bandwidth right now, I love the idea of adding essential oil to laundry. Some ideas that we do that make moments feel more special— lighting taper candles at dinner, cloth napkins, using our good silverware every day. I do like the idea of occasionally drawing menus — even when we have friends over and order takeout pizza because it’s easy. I’m trying to grow flowers in our garden so we can have more in our home too.
I’m in an endless laundry vortex rn with my infant and the laundry signature scent/playlist idea is DEF going to be adopted to make things more pleasant 🤌🏼
Jenna, I just read your words aloud to my partner (which I rarely do!) I’m often divulging in newsletters solo, but your words were so good I had to share it. Really love the section about your high school self. It’s so true, we get a bit caught up in the mundane chores we sometimes miss how cool it is to completely own a space.
I love this! I’ve been on a mission lately to try to look at the things in my life as treasures and this will be a good way to start changing my mindset about chores✨✨
I love this article more than I can express. The concept of being the creative director of my home adds so much fun and purpose to the more mundane tasks. I don’t often read articles that truly stay in my brain in an applicable way, but this one hit the spot! One of my favorite writers and creators right now! 🫶🏼
My husband and I just bought our first house in January, and I’ve been having the MOST fun designing and curating our spaces. I absolutely love this mindset, and your suggestions are such a complement to the season of life I’m in!

Yes! Oh my - a new space is full of creative director potential!
I love this mindset shift. I’m a stay at home mom (and writer), but I like to refer to my role as Curating Childhood Experiences.
LOVE! You’re the CCE department!
