I hope you enjoyed today's video! Thank you to LMNT for sponsoring. Head to DrinkLMNT.com/DAILYC to get your free sample pack with any purchase. I would love to know how you are planning and budgeting this fall. Let us know in the comments. Thank you for watching! With love always, Jennifer

[@SusanHorn-n3y]

I watch a KZbin channel called Under the Median, that shares a great deal of information about being frugal/budgeting etc, which saves me money for a few more extravagant items that I carefully choose. Check them out.

[@Miriam-qb4cr]

Making delicious meals at home are not only cheaper but enriching and cozy. Thank you for your beautiful inspiration 💐

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

So true, Miriam!

[@rebeccaharris7893]

I love that you talk about budgeting and planning! Thank you for sharing. You are elegant in all that you do.

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

Thank you so much!

[@frenchbreadandfamily1811]

♥️🙏🏼☕️✍🏻 Jennifer, I always set the table with my planner, my commonplace and my coffee on Monday, Thursday and Friday mornings. You have become an endeared life coach to me! The found dishes were meant for you! They are going to be spectacular styled for occasions inside your jewel box home! Love, Lynne

[@katiestevenson8920]

The end of summer is a special time of still enjoying glorious weather while anticipating the arrival of a new season. It’s a very different feeling than being in winter and longing for spring.

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

Absolutely!

[@AdventureswithAmirah]

Cheeseburgers on Beautiful China....I am totally here for it! 🙂 My son and I really enjoyed the Scotland issue we received a few weeks ago. Our family loved Scotland when we visited, and I feel like the magazine really captured the magic of it's natural and historical beauty. Out of all of our world travels, Scotland is the place that truly captured our hearts.💚

[@Karen-ve6ds]

My journal is where I keep my brain.

[@21972012145525]

Same. I go through phases when I feel the need to write down every detail and some when I'm absolutely plannerless (currently in this phase). Im actually not sure which one I prefer 😅

[@michelletackett9489]

I love how you bring classic literature into some of your videos. Also, I love the dishes and I love fall, so I can't wait for fall. 😊

[@AddieV1984]

I LOVE that you touched on budgeting!! 👏🏻 It’s an important part of living well ✨

[@airstreamer]

You make even a simple hamburger and fries dinner look and sound elegant! Love your positive attitude. - Michelle

[@beatasol4447]

These summer videos of home making are my favorite. It always inspires me to make one of your recipes. Today I go for fresh strawberry pie from few years back.

[@mommabear5059]

One of my favorites! Enjoy!

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

Thank you! I love that pie!

[@kristywhited8857]

The "some people might call it being delusional" comment made me laugh so hard. Not sure why that struck me as it did, but I think it was the calm delivery.

[@lauraneaves6912]

I love the Pollyana attitude and need to get more of that going myself. Love all your videos Jennifer!

[@kata5182]

I love using my journal planner. I love all your china, so beautiful and lovely. English china anything is a good find! I am looking forward to Autumn so much because we are moving to France. I can’t wait. I am looking forward to many day trips to beautiful gardens, especially Monet’s Giverny. Life will be so much slower there. Thank you for your You-tube channel!❤

[@lauraellen189]

Oh my days! The china is so beautiful!!! I can't imagine the cost of a family of 6 dining out would cost nowadays, but recreating meals at home is great!

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

Yes, its' quite pricey! (Dining out... not the china set. That was a great price, haha)

[@KristynLorraine]

I have used a planner daily for over 20 years, since beginning homeschooling. I set alarms on my phone sometimes, but my paper planner has become a necessary lifesaver in my life.

[@lhs1221]

I have the same color crepe myrtle trees but never thought of making a bouquet out of them. Thanks for the idea! ❤And yes, I have planners for wellness, spiritual/religious duties and daily activities. Without them I’m kind of lost. 😅. I love your videos by the way!

[@debrasams2362]

Crepe myrtle trees are gorgeous this year. Lovely boutique. Such pretty china. You'll enjoy using it. Home cooked food is so good. A definite savings from eating out. Great video. Thank you.

[@marep5597]

I often use my planner to jot down something that happens on a particular date - things unplanned that are significant that I may or may not write in my journal. It’s been invaluable when I need to go back and find the exact date something occurred. It’s easier to find there than reading through a journal.

[@yangtejada3088]

I love your videos, Jennifer. so inspiring the way you prepare meals for your family ❤

[@kimgordon3695]

We love to shop in season & cook on the grill. Happy summer

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

Thank you so much!

[@maureencaldwell2975]

I love that necklace! Amethyst is my birthstone, so I think I have to buy it for myself. 😊

[@mackenzier7150]

I love your videos Jennifer, you do such a great job with them! ❤

[@ashley.hulsey]

In addition to the increase in price, we have noticed that the quality of food has gone significantly down at most restaurants. There are a select amount of locally owned restaurants that we continue to visit.

[@ashl3ymich3ll3]

I used my planner during the school year to keep track of the kids activities and school events, but stopped during the summer. I will for sure be using it again in the next few weeks to start planning the next school year. I definitely don't look at my planner daily though probably a few times a month.. because I write out my month onto the fridge calendar so that everyone can see.

I’m still using my planner , but looking forward to getting a new one for the new year! Nit that I’m wishing the year away, I’d like one with different features. Great video and truly enjoyed the $ comparison of eating out and cooking at home !

[@MarshaNeyman]

This was such a lovely, cozy and peaceful video. Thank you! I always feel like your videos make me pause and remind me to get in touch with myself. I am kind of in the same phase as you, cherishing the late days of summer, yet getting ready emotionally for fall and beginning of the school year… it is a precious time. 🩷. Thank you for reminding us to slow down and be mindful of it.

Dear Daily Connoisseur, I purchased a 2 year subscription upon the opening scenes in your film. I’ve owned all of your books for many years and really appreciate all that you have shared with the world. What a wonderful project. The subscription is a great value. It came with a bonus digital magazine which was a nice instant gratification as I wait to see your essay hard copy IRL! ;) Thank you! Sincerely, Eliza from Boston

[@jessicas.1402]

Love Victoria magazine and your articles are the icing on the cake! ❤

Congratulations on the Indian Tree set! So lovely

I was thrilled to find it at such a great price!

[@GBY301]

Lovely to hear Scotland mentioned. I live in Stirling, Scotland 😊

[@EpurasMaria]

nice video, but the title gave me the impression you will talk more about planning. I will check your older videos for tips. I noticed you don't use baking paper for all you baked, why? bread, ok, maybe not, although bread crumbs might burn and leave marks, but for potatoes it would have helped. I don't know, I use baking paper for all baking (I have tried silicone "paper" but didn't work out well on the long run, so I'm back to paper) Greetings from Romania. Have a lovely day!

[@21972012145525]

Yes, same I was expecting more planning. Looking forward to the video discussing the book.

[@21972012145525]

Maybe fries crisp up better without the parchment paper? Idk. Buns and Fries aren't as messy as melted cheese 😅

[@lauraguerin8615]

What a happy find with your dish wear!

[@angeldawson]

I accidentally watched this video again while doing my daily treadmill time, but am so glad that I did because I'd picked up gems that I wanted to jot down previously but had subsequently forgotten... And I got some dinner inspiration too! 😄🙏🌺

[@PatriciaW80]

I own some Johnson Brothers’ dinnerware. Their designs are so dreamy. I look forward to seeing your Spode woodland on your table. The latest issue of Victoria is beautiful; of course all their issues are. I spent a lot of time looking at everything in each room, its history and how it was curated. Of course, I always eagerly turn to the writer-in-residence!

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

Thank you!

[@denisehill7769]

I remember reading the Arnold Bennett book, it's still relevant today. He was born near here, in the Potteries and wrote many novels based in the area.

[@ncl-ibelieve8421]

The burger and sweet potato fries look delicious. I agree that eating out is so expensive. . I was just writing in my planner today. I have been using a planner for years it keeps me organized.

[@elizabethandrus3848]

Hello! I recently subscribed to Victoria after seeing it in one of your Christmas videos. I hope I get the Scottland issue. I happen to be very enamored with china and have owned many sets over the years. I love this one for you because of the grey and pink colors. Perfect. I hope you will share you table set with it in the months ahead. thank you so much for sharing!

[@heartsandmindsathome]

I recently watched something where Amy Landino mentioned that book as well, and I was intrigued! Thank you for sharing about it. And while watching a couple of of Amy’s videos, I thought to myself, “Wow, she is super high functioning like Jennifer Scott!” 😅 It would be fun to see you two chat together about how you manage life and “all the things,” and still take such good care of yourselves. 💛

[@daisylee298]

Now I know I’ve missed you 😅 I can’t believe this episode is over. I wanted more! I’m looking forward to reading your article on Teas in the Victorian Magazine. ❤

Hello Jennifer, Your meal looks delicious! I am almost out of our half side of beef and am dreading buying healthy beef in a grocery store at their prices. Thankfully, I have sweet potatoes to dig up for fries, fresh heirloom tomatoes growing, garden cucumbers to pickle and maybe some garden lettuce if it hasn’t boilers. I should put the kids on making Einkorn buns during my nap. Thanks for the inspiration. Julie

[@patriciashayes5929]

That's my mother's china! Although I rotate dinner plates kind of seasonally, I always have my sandwich on the square salad plate, and my oatmeal or soup in the flat-sided soup bowl. I can still hear my mother asking people helping set the table to be sure the plate is placed with the tree's roots at the bottom and its leaves on top.

[@21972012145525]

That's so cute

[@Motherhubbard170]

I love your voice and manner of speaking so clearly with a beautiful tone. I wonder if you always spoke so beautifully or was this cultivated after Paris ? Moving on, eating out has not only become exorbitant, but often times the quality itself can be dreadful, I ate out recently on my birthday. Ordered a flatbread with BBQ chicken, I received a just shy of being burnt black flatbread with what must have been bottled BBQ sauce squirted thickly over it. Knowing too many horror stories I didn't send it back, I did send the dessert back as I didn't want a replacement. The dessert was blackberry tart ? I received a rock hard pastry cup with a spoonful of blackberries in the middle and a squirt of aerosol cream. $60 !!!

[@21972012145525]

Restaurant?

[@21972012145525]

How many places is considered a full set of china? That looks like so many things to store. I Would be interested in learning how you store all your various china. Is everything in the china cabinet?

[@MsBackstager]

Jenn, what's your recipe for sweet potato fries?

[@ramonaritz7815]

A "good" hamburger meal for 2 in a restaurant would be 30 dollars. Most basic meals for 2 in a restaurant is 30 dollars. That's no dessert, no appetizers, just the basic meal with a drink. I know because I do this regularly these days with my elderly mother. Many times we opt for the early bird specials or because we go early we get the lunch deals so the serving size is smaller.

[@TheDailyConnoisseur]

So true!

[@21972012145525]

Due to corporate greed, food at a local sit down restaurant is basically costing the same as fast food! It's ridiculous 😢

@@21972012145525 perhaps this will encourage people to slow down and eat in a restaurant (less often than they might eat fast food) though…I suppose that’s the Pollyanna in me 🙃

Jennifer, I am pregnant and I’m a first time mom. I have always loved your content I love dressing classy. But I was wondering if you could speak to any wardrobe pieces that you chose specifically for having a new baby. For example, easy breastfeeding tops that were still fashionable, or maybe pants that were still classy but that you could bend in easily. I would love some advice on wardrobe for new mamas as I feel some of my fancier, dry cleaning only, pieces might get destroyed during this stage 😅😅 thanks!!

Our favorite take out is Smash Burger, but after hyperventilating at the sticker price the last time we ordered from them..."Honey" got a cast iron griddle for the BBQ and a big ol' honkin' spatula for his birthday! Considering the cost of those, and all of the fixings for smash burgers and fries...and we are many dollars ahead from ordering out once! 😊

[@21972012145525]

So do you make it on the stovetop or does it go on the grill? I find we cannot do upkeep of our grill but instead of making burgers on the stove/oven, we just stop making them. Id love to start again but not sure which kitchen tools are needed for the most bbq adjacent burger. Ok

[@melodymcdonnell1528]

@21972012145525 Our's is a gas grill with separate controls, so we put a small cast iron griddle on one side and set the control to 400 degrees. Form the ground meat in a ball about the size of a tennis ball, place on the very hot griddle & smash with a very large spatula. Don't "fiddle" with the meat, but smash down if it starts to rise. When the edges of the patty start to crinkle and burn, flip it...only once. Leave it about a minute, then remove and place on bun. I found the grill and (smash burger) spatula on Amazon. Let the griddle completely cool. Scrape and wipe clean with paper towels. (Do not wash griddle in water.) (I hope this helps.)

[@LB-ku6ry]

Hi, Jennifer-your burger looks delicious. And the book on time seems perfect for me. I plan on buying it. I look forward to you beautiful videos. I’m trying to give up Instagram. Your videos are nourishing and elegant. I was at the butcher today, and got caught up in a political discussion. I’m embarrassed to admit, that despite my feminine Lilly Pulitzer summer dress, flat sandals, and a beautiful Pearl necklace and earring set that was gifted to me, I was anything but elegant. In retrospect, I realize that talking about politics even though we were on the same side was not lady-like. The more I listen to your videos, the more self-aware I become. I just wished that I would have realized this before engaging in something so brash. May God bless you and keep you and all your followers too. I wish you a lovely day. Thank you. Love, me. ❤

[@21972012145525]

Why do you consider talking politics as un-lady like? I think anyone discussing politics makes them seem aware and informed
