1940's Morning Routine

Hello Darlings, it's been a while since I've made one of these vintage morning routines. I know how much you all enjoy them AND I love filming and researching for these videos! I hope you enjoy it and I'll see you all very soon!
Lots of love,

Sage, I love that your videos provide a sense of how important a role like “housewife” actually was when we tend to stereotype it a lot in the modern era. Especially in wartime, a housewife was much more than a pretty face or a maid. She had to be a thrifty economist and accountant to make each penny and ration card last, a nutritionist to keep her family healthy with very limited food supplies, a talented tailor to use what precious little fabric they had, and even a bit of a handyman to fix any household problems that arose when the men were away fighting. All this while keeping on a brave beautiful patriotic face despite almost certainly having loved ones in danger overseas or being in danger herself from the Blitz. It makes me appreciate my women ancestors for their remarkable strength even when I have chosen a much different path for how I will be a strong woman. Bravo, ma’am!

[@jeremynv89523]

My father didn't like to talk about WW2 a lot, but when he did, it always interested me. He said that during the War, millions of women went to work in the factories to keep things running while the men were at War. And they "did a damn good job at it, too." Grandmothers, in large part, ran the households during that period.

[@mrsheatherteske]

So true ❤️ my grandma was a young widow in the 1950s ( eventually did remarry but...) had to do all things. I'm sad she died when I was 12 because I loved her with all my heart but wish I had understood all she did alone

[@romancandle416]

Yes, that's a good point. Even though technology was getting better, household appliances were still pretty primitive in the 1940s. And, of course, families had alot more kids. Add that all up, and it becomes obvious that keeping a house was backbreaking work up until fairly recently. In fact, some historians and sociologists even theorize that the women's rights movement of the 60s and 70s probably doesn't happen (or at least looks very different) otherwise.

Oh Sage, this was exactly what my soul needed today! Your videos never fail to entertain, educate, and soothe. Thank you for all the hard work you put into your content. I hope you will never stop making your lovely videos. ❤️

[@MrTurtluv]

I can remember being taught to do a lot of these things as a child. I’m in my early 40’s, but my great grandma Edna taught me show to be a little lady, my grandpa (who raised me mostly) taught me cooking, cleaning, the exact sciences of making the perfect bed every morning, ironing, gardening, and so many other things my mother was not there to show me. The vintage dressing and beauty (makeup and vintage hair) were traits I taught myself. The life of a housewife was often not easy or glamorous…but kudos to those ladies who made the best of it for their families and themselves! Ps. I love your tutorials ❤

[@texaswunderkind]

Maybe this was the routine for wealthy urbanites of that era. My grandparents on Nebraska farms would have lived quite differently. First of all, the woman applies more makeup in this video than my grandmothers wore their entire lives. Secondly, clothes were handmade, expensive, and rarely cleaned, so the woman would have had an apron on during all chores. Farms of that era did not have indoor plumbing, so the morning would have started with fetching water from the well. It would have been boiled on the stove for washing. Right away in the morning, the cows also had to be milked and eggs gathered. There would have been 4-5 children running around. All men would have worn denim overalls, all the time. My grandmothers were amazing cooks, and wouldn't have been caught dead reading a cookbook to make scrambled eggs. They had large vegetable gardens, and canned their own produce and even meat for the long winter, which was kept in a "potato cellar" under the house. The farm would have had a tough dog, who lived outdoors, and never came inside, to protect the livestock from predators like coyotes. A gun rack would also have been by the door to quickly deal with predators as well. Eggs and cream would have been brought into town to sell for things like sugar that could not be grown on the farm. Rationing was underway from 1942-1947, so ration books and stamps would have had to be maintained. The kids would have had only one pair of shoes, and most clothing would have been hand-me-downs from older siblings or cousins. The adults all would have been smoking. The meal would have begun with a prayer. The kids would have been bundled up to make the long walk to school, or even taken a horse-drawn wagon. Smaller towns may have had a one-room schoolhouse. Farm work would have begun when the sun came up to maximize daylight. There would have been a barn for large animals, featuring a hay loft on the second level. A grain bin, chicken coup, machine shed, and other outbuildings would have been common. Men repaired all vehicles and tractors themselves. Everything was repaired and reused until it absolutely could not serve any purpose. They would have slaughtered their own animals (my grandmas could snap a chicken's neck with one quick twist), cream would have been churned into butter by hand, bread would have been baked not store-bought, and refrigeration would have been limited. The beds would have had thick, uneven feather mattresses with layers of heavy quilts to keep the family warm in unheated rooms. Kids would have shared beds and bedrooms. There may not have been an indoor toilet, so the family would have had to put on boots and coats to use the outhouse in winter. There was no store-bought toilet paper, so thank goodness for the Sears catalog! Families rarely saw dentists or doctors, almost never ate in restaurants, and took trains to visit family in other towns. Not that there were many family members in other towns, as many families lived their whole lives in the same area. My maternal grandfather dropped out of school in 6th grade and was hired out by a neighboring farmer. The only time he ever left the county was when he went to fight in World War II. After the war the veterans would frequent VFW clubs where they could talk with other vets with similar experiences. Wives and children were never told what they experienced in the war. All of this is from what my parents and grandparents taught me about how they grew up.

[@candicefrost4561]

Thanks for the insight on a different experience for a different social class/profession in the same time period. It’s still true that suburban/urban families live different lives and have different routines than the country/rural ones. We should all try to connect with and compare each others’ stories to learn more about the full spectrum of what life is like for others.

[@sarahhayse-gregson689]

In Australia we had a wonderful programme called, “Back in time for Dinner” . A family of 5 were chosen to go back in time and each episode was the next decade starting with 1900’s. They had to live and sustain themselves exactly how it would have been. There was a similar show in the UK where the family had to live in wartime Britain which was equally fascinating. Everything had to be authentic , clothes, food, jobs, transport etc.

[@nicolajayne1594]

We had the same programme in the UK too on the BBC some time ago. Though the same family went on to do further series set in different eras such as the 1950s and 60s as well. It was interesting to see how people lived in those different eras, not just in terms of what they ate/drank/wore, but how they lived long before the introduction of the technologies we now take for granted. That said I was born in 1980 so I was able to experience life before the internet and social media etc

I appreciate you sharing all the War Time routines with us. Times were so different back then, we rationed our food, clothing, rubber, butter, tea, coffee, chocolate and even some of our personal items as well like toiletries as well, like Vaseline. Most people gladly sacrificed our daily intake of meat so our fellow soldiers that were fighting Hitler and fighting for our freedoms with full belly’s. I’m so proud of English, Australian, American, and of course other housewife’s sacrificed for all of us today. They stepped up and everyone was involved. We don’t realize just how powerful we all can be when we decide to put out differences aside for the greater good of our countries. We our a force to be reckoned with, when we all work together for our survival. I’d gladly sacrifice for Australia 🇦🇺 and England to see another day. And this video is a reminder for what Ukrainians are going through right now. Even the Russian people I’m sure don’t want a war. Anyway thanks for this video, it’s a reminder to keep things in perspective. God forbid any of our great countries see War again. I hope not. Anyway God Bless ❤

I’m praying for both of your countries to put down weapons and to settle your differences and disputes without violence or going to war. I know I probably sound hypocritical coming from an American myself, but I’m not proud of everything my country has done in the past, and I’m not too delusional to admit that Americans can be bullys. But I’ve lived long enough to know that nobody actually really wins in War, BOTH SIDE WILL SUFFER GREAT LOSS. I don’t want Russia or Ukraine to suffer, I feel that your countries could one day again be brothers and neighbors again. And work out your problems without war, Putin says that Ukrainians are Nazi’s, but the truth is there’s unfortunately NAZI-ISIM all over the world. Especially in Argentina and even here in the United States we still have NAZIS and RACISM, it’s a problem, and every country has to deal with that level of hate, but we don’t go to War for it. We don’t kill innocent people over a groups of hatred, because the whole country isn’t full of Nazi’s. There’s good people in Ukraine, just like there’s good people in Russia too. There’s good and bad people in this world but we don’t bomb a whole country because of a few bad people. Anyway God bless you and I pray 🙏 for your safety and that both countries will choose peace soon Much love to you my friend 💕

I pretty much claimed that USA has not so many proud moments in our past, I’m not gonna deny or sugar coat it. USA can be the big bully on the play ground sometimes, yet sometimes we can be the bully and stand up for the ones getting bullied. The fact that our President Biden has gone above and beyond to bring other countries together to fight for Ukrainians is something to consider. Because it’s not just US the USA who see’s that the Ukrainians would be NO MORE - Nonexistent if President Biden didn’t stand up for them. Germany, England, including France have ALL CONTRIBUTED! The USA giving the most, and AMERICA and AMERICANS still LOVE and CARE very much for RUSSIA, and the Russian people. Including MYSELF!! I myself PRAY for Russia and PUTIN ALL the time. Believe me that I do. Please remember that OTHER COUNTRIES, not just the USA, have ALL DONATED! And if they didn’t intervene, well then there wouldn’t be a UKRAINE to fight for, it wouldn’t be there, it would completely belong to Russia 🇷🇺 and Ukrainians would loose there Country and Culture, right? I’ll be the 1st to admit that my country doesn’t always do the right things, and can be bullies, but I’m extremely proud of our country supporting Ukrainian, (plus Zelenskyy is easy on the eyes) lol 😂 not gonna deny he is a good looking guy. I truly pray for both of them, during this time and age with our advanced technology there isn’t really ANY REASONS to go to War, we should know by now that WAR is the worst thing to start. Which is why I pray Trump never get back in power, Trump would of Nuked Russia or Ukraine if he was in power, Trump wanted to Nuke a damn hurricane here in the USA, which would eventually kill or make ALL of us sick, Nobody WINS in WAR! Nobody Both sides SUFFER! Both sides loose property, lives, and both suffer mentally and suffer tremendous loss and possibly from PTSD, which is traumatic. I think at one time Putin was/is a great leader, I’ve seen videos of him interacting with his dog and other animals, I know deep down he is a good person, I think that he has allowed himself to be misinformed. Using the excuse of NAZISM is LAME. Because there are NAZIS ALL OVER THE WORLD, not just in Ukraine, we have extreme racism here in the USA, Germany, England, Argentina, radical racism is SADLY ALL over the world, and WAR, FIGHTING and BLOODSHED, blowing up childrens Hospitals, and bombing apartment buildings were civilians live isn’t the ANSWER, and as long as Putin keep demanding TARGETS on CIVILIANS you can BET every other country around the WORLD, is watching and will NOTICE that Putin is WRONG and has lost his way! You can BET as long as Putin keeps targeting Schools and play grounds that Germany, France, England, and the United States will N-O-T!!! ALLOW THIS TO CONTINUE! Instead of telling the USA to mind its own business you’d have to tell every other country the SAME! Because the WHOLE DAMN WORLD IS WATCHING RUSSIA RN! And nobody is happy.

Half a mile away was a conference centre where German POWs were housed. Dad said he could hear them singing in German, and one of the songs said, "I'd like to see my home again." A very pivotal time in history, and my favourite era. I still have ration books from Mom and Dad's families. Lots of love from the US 💕

Thankyou Sage for that wonderful opportunity to join in your daily routine. You showed us just how it would have been for the 1940s housewife, enjoyed every minute. Sending love and prayers to you both God bless 🙏

Beautiful and educational video, Sage! Really enjoyed watching. Ive taken on board alot of 1940's/50's hacks and lifestyle techniques since watching your videos. Like airing the bed for a couple of hours before I put it together and simplifying some of my morning meals. Makes life a whole lot easier as well as healthier than the modern day habits we've gotten into. I actually made the same breaky as in this video today after watching this😁

[@aussiejubes]

You're a woman after my own heart! I often get up after watching and enjoyable video and eat/do what I saw in the video hehe. Now you've mentioned it I think I'll have tomato and scramb too!

This video brought back memories of my childhood. My dad was born in Germany in 1910. Came to US with his mom at 18. She didn’t want him drafted in the army. My mom was born in 1915. I was born in 1954. She dressed in shirt dresses though the skirts were full. She worked as a bookkeeper and he as machinist. We had crank windows! Hot tea was the beverage served at dinner. We had Postum for breakfast.

[@spirituallysafe]

What is Postum?

[@moonwolfdancer1103]

@@spirituallysafe it's a beverage made from grain. Usually drunk if there's a low tolerance to coffee.

[@sallycormier1383]

Wow, I love history and learned something new today. I had no idea how long after the war that rationing was going on! Very entertaining as well. I was kind of sad when “the morning” ended, I wanted to see the rest of your day. PS: I was inspired to repeat your 1940’s morning routine at my home including the breakfast scramble & tomato on toast. I put 40’s radio programs on my playlist (complete with commercials) while I tidied up the kitchen and made beds after airing them out. 😊

Absolutely adore your videos. I too use wartime cook books for almost every meal we cook & tend to use most UK ration quantities. It's very healthy too. I also have my own little victory vegetable patches & green house etc in my garden. I have a new wartime garden to kitchen book to plan what I am growing this year. Although nothing as wonderful as your house but I have bought many vintage items & have created a vintage kitchen & dinning room that I love. I am seriously ill & disabled so this lovely way of life has given me something to really enjoy. It's so exciting when I see you have uploaded a new video. Please keep posting 💕

I love that this video posted today. KZbin suggested your 48 hours as a 40s housewife video to me and I instantly fell in love with your energy. I have been binging your videos while I'm "working" all day and then THIS posts? Perfect timing :)

[@RedRoseSeptember22]

Fellow simmer I see ;) lol, nice pic and name. I've been watching Sage ever since KZbin recommended her 1 week as a 1950s housewife to me. I've been hooked ever since!

@RedRoseSeptember22 hi!!! I have been building 1950s and 60s homes in the Sims and watching lots of youtube videos for inspiration so I can see why Sage was recommended! I am so hooked and loving every video I watch. I am also really excited to go home from work and dress up my Sims in a vintage style :) wish we had like a decades pack

[@lorihansen8674]

Why oh why? This glamorizing of historic periods does not highlight struggles and difficulties that existed. People back then had two or three dresses in the closet and two pairs of shoes. They ate little to no meat and had to prepare every single meal. There were hardly any supermarkets, per se, so you had to go to a different store for your bread, your meat, your cheese, milk and butter, etc. Other stores sold fresh produce and things like candles when available.

[@obscurum6]

@@lorihansen8674 And women lost their kids if their husbands left them as women had no legal right to even see their own children. Women had no means of providing for themselves and they were actually sex and housework slaves.

I was ten years old in 1948. While this is a pretty picture you're painting, this is not how most families, including mine, lived post-war.

[@alexanderchapman2525]

I wondered about that. Seems like a narrative.

[@CT1010101]

I can't imagine how frustrating it must have been for women to have such a loosening of gender roles during the war and then have to go right back to the old status quo. To have a job outside the home for the first time, know you were providing for yourself, and then have that snatched away makes me angry to think about.

[@PhoenixsArt]

Yeah makes me insanely happy to go contract to contract and job to job in science, that unimaginable feeling of freedom.
