Just started watching your channel. I suffer from ADHD & Generalized Anxiety & have been on & off meds for too many yrs to count. As I was watching your video jusk knowing you still had to wake up & make cup cakes my heart started racing. Then when you only had 20 min left before the party started & you were vlogging...I would have been freaking out. I don't know how you do it but I pray one day I can be as organized & calm as you. : )
It is nice to see I am not the only one who follows your routines. I also have severe anxiety disorder and I have learned over the last three years to keep myself organized which helps me to stay balanced. I now lean on anything that will help me to do this. It works for me !!! If I have a busy day I always write a To Do List and I will not deviate from it. BTW... I love serving little quiches and fresh fruit for my brunches. Your videos have been a blessing to me. TFS
Loved this party 'brunch' planning video. Great tips! More videos on your party planning please! Catching up on all of your videos wonderful tips on organization! Thank you! K
Wow your guests are so lucky, you are amazingly considerate thinking out every detail & making sure you are calm for the party. Would love to see more tips for timing cooking for dinner parties etc, it's so helpful! Thank you Jen!
I just discovered your channel today and I admire you. It's great to know that there are other organized young women out there. What I would love to know is, where did you get your recipe book holder? The grooves in the wood in combination with the section of Plexiglas (or plastic) seems like a fantastic combination. I've been looking for a book holder for a long time and quite hate everything I've found. I'd love to know the brand if you have time to share. Thanks!
@iheartbooks87 I registered for it as a wedding gift 6 years ago. It was from Williams-Sonoma (not sure if they still have it). It's actually glass and wood.
Very useful video... Thanx a million :) .. I wanna ask abt the other dessert that u made (the one with marshmallows) what is the name of it?! I wanna know the recipe to make it for my younger brother and sister
Such wonderful vids! I need you at my house when I have Thanksgivings with 25 people! I was wondering if you also plan music or games, or movies or sports to be the entertainment.--- or instead just let everyone talk? I sooo admire how pretty you looked before the party. I always say that my sisters look beautiful in holiday photos and there I am with no makeup and wild hair because I was cooking all day before they came, thus they look at my pix and say,"Why don't you wear any makeup"?Geez!!!
@VintageChrystelle I generally don't plan games at family parties, because everyone likes to talk, although someday soon I hope to host a Pictionary or Charades party. We have thrown a few movie parties, because we have a really nice mini movie-theatre type of set-up in our basement. At Thanksgiving I always invite people over at 2 for snacks and to start watching the games (we typically eat at 5). At other times we might have important sports events on the TV on mute to satisfy the crowd.
I am amazed at how organized you are and how you think of every tiny detail - things that wouldn't have even crossed my mind! By the way, which book do you use for your cupcake recipes?
Move over Martha Stewart, Jenn is here! I'm in awe of the amount of thought you put into planning for an event. Thanks for all of the great tips. Especially planning your attire, even if it is for a casual event. I absolutely love the idea of labeling trash and recycle bins. Thanks for making us all step up and bring our "A" game when it comes to planning.
I also get anxious especially in those kind of situations..I think it is because I want things to be perfect......Love your ideas......Also what kind of eyeshadow are you wearing..it is very pretty..
@shannonrachel69 At the end of this video I am wearing eyeshadows from two different palettes. I used the Too Faced Naked Eye palette and the Laura Mercier spring eye & cheek palette to create a soft grey look with a hint of purple.
Jen - I suffered from severe panic for years and finally worked my way out of it within the last 2 years. It's so nice to see how much you do and how calm you are =). Winnie is just the cutest thing ever - and so well behaved! My little fluff balls would be on top of the coffee table if food was involved. We're working on it! Everything about your party looked just beautiful and you should be so proud - that is a lot of work! Hope it was a wonderful time! :)
@yarbs83 It's not easy to work around anxiety, but being prepared for parties and generally organized helps me a lot. Sometimes people complain that I *hide* on my kitchen too much during parties (it's an open kitchen, so I don't think it can really be considered hiding), but I do what I have to do to curb my anxiety. I love throwing parties too much to let anxiety get in the way!
Hi Jen, thank for another brilliant video. Sooo helpful, I have a large family and everyone always comes to us so your tips are invaluable - you are so inspirational. Please don't stop what your doing. Can't wait for your next one! Hope you enjoyed your party.
I love love love these two videos Jen! I think the party planning tips are excellent!!! I too am very anxious when it comes to preparing for parties and like yourself over the years have slowly mastered the art of staying calmer and not running around like a red hot chillie pepper! I live in Greece and Greeks like their food and social events and the whole secret is being organized which you are very much so! Your house looks amazing and I am sure all your guests look forward to this every time.
This was a great two-parter video!!! You are sooo amazing, your hubby is so lucky to have such an amazing wife like you....I would love to see more of these videos, it helps with how to manage time and what to get started first.....you did an awesome job!
