Yes! I’llI watch whatever makes you happy. I do love your cooking videos. What about a day in the life? A drive around your home,town…? Places you like to shop..

I'm way over 50 (78). I totally enjoy your channel. My daily life is complicated (husband is age 80 with Parkinson's disease+Lewy Body Dementia). Charming Abode and Jason videos lifts my spirits. I found your channel several years ago and am thankful for it and for you. I too walk with the Lord, more so now than ever. Blessings!

Such a just a terrible disease. Both of them but I don’t know Louise body is just terrible. My dad had Parkinson’s. That’s not fun either. None of it’s fun😢. Hang in there.❤❤❤✌🏻

Repurposing, recycling, reusing and refreshing are more of what I am looking for these days not purchasing new things. Healthy living and just catching up with you is always a pleasure. Delighted to hear your health is so much better!!

Yes. I agree

My favorite part of watching your videos is your authenticity. You’re relatable and fun, enthusiastic and don’t take yourself too seriously. Your faith is the icing on the cake! I’m up for whatever and wherever you take us!

You put it out and we will watch. Your personality, attitude and honesty are why I watch. What I learn about decorating, lifestyle, cooking is a much appreciated bonus.

Leslie I use to think age was a state of mind UNTIL this year. I celebrated my jubilee year (75) in October and man what a difference in the way I’ve felt. Guess I’ve just been in denial that I was getting old. So with that said I have started cutting back with decorating and other stuff. I am going through my decor items and donating what I haven’t used for a few years. I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos and seeing Jason. Whatever you decide to do I’ll be right there with you.

Yes, Leslie! You hit the nail on the head this video with the idea of just using the things you already have to freshen up your outlook. Moving a piece of furniture to a new spot, switching out rugs or pictures, changing out bedding--that's all you need to give your life a big lift! Out with clutter in the New Year and bring on the imagination and fresh perspective! I'm glad you're feeling so well now. Love Jason too and hope his days are the best he can enjoy. Your family is amazing. Love to you and all in 2024 💞

I have been watching you for a while, as a 76 yr old young lady I quit purchasing decorating items and just gone through a big purge, it’s gets overwhelming all this stuff. I am never bored with your videos, because I love your upbeat and positive personality, especially what you are going through with Jason. I will watch no matter what💕

I'm 72 this year, my husband suffered a severe brain injury in 2019 so he was "taken from me" suddenly!! I always am interested in watching how things go as Jason's illness progresses & how you cope. It would be interesting to include a small update on his progress at intervals and how you are both coping. I know it will become increasingly difficult on the other channel but we do care. I would be interested in reusing existing decor & also decluttering etc. I wish you both strength moving forward. ❤

I've been enjoying your videos for a few years, and I'm now 60 😮. The direction of NOT always purchasing new to refresh the home is definitely what I'd like to see. If you decide to incorporate over 50 topics that's a bonus! I also find comfort following you and Jason's journey since I'm a caregiver for my Mom with severe dementia. Keep staying true to what makes you comfortable creating because you're doing great ❤️

I’m 38 & LOVE your heart, decor, positivity & you are an inspiration to me. I have a daughter with extreme disabilities, and it is very moving and helpful to see someone who is loving Jesus through their struggles. In addition to your decor, speaking and sharing your heart through your difficulties is very helpful. I truly appreciate your openness and the joy you have for life, while being honest about life struggles. You may not be interested in this kind of stuff, but I enjoy cleaning videos, Christian life inspiration, and decor. Praying for your sweet family! You inspire me!

I’m 76 years old living on a very fixed income. I thrift or shop sales and coupons regularly. I love your style and your beautiful home, but I am a minimalist. As you get older you don’t want to accumulate and store extras. I agree with your new ideas. I do follow you and your husband’s journey. I pray for you and since my sister-in-law has Alzheimer’s it is helpful.

I'm 66 and I have been downsizing and donating for about 2 years and have a ways to go. I rarely buy anything anymore because I don't feel the need at this point in my life. I am content with less and with what I have. I follow you because of who you are. You are a breath of fresh air; you are authentic, genuine, and sincere. I would like to see a day in the life of when you are on a few hours break of what you do to make yourself happy and refreshed. I would like to hear your secrets or suggestions on how to stay motivated to keep going. Whether it be with exercise, eating right, being joyful, not getting down etc. Because with age does come those aches, pains, changes in our bodies, mind and soul. I would like easy recipes for cooking for 2 because I really hate to cook but need easy ideas. I enjoy your porch decorating, your home refresh. Perhaps show us how you "shop your home" to change things up. Whatever you do, it will be great. Just listening to you, seeing your smile and watching you giggle makes my day!!

Happy New Year!🎊 Love the over-50 video idea and you are never boring! I’m 63 and just retired so looking forward to this new stage. Also, I started a minimalist household & lifestyle.

Just got the confirmation today my brother has full blown Lewy body dementia. There saying 1 to 2 years to live based on where he is today. We are devastated as his decline is so fast. I had not heard of this until your Chanel. Please pray for us as he can not live on his own anymore. We are heartbroken.

So very sorry 🙏

I’m 61..I also want to declutter..I made a goal this year to not buy any unnecessary items and I gave my self a goal of saving a certain amount of money each month..so not buying and decluttering is right up my alley.. and my daughter told me she doesn’t want any of my “junk”.. so I really need to declutter❤

I am 66 years old. Cleaning out a family farm established in 1896 and generations of stuff, plus 5 other houses cleaned, decluttered and sold. I have donated, sold, re-purposed, re-arranged, etc. I keep things fresh but heading towards minimizing so I can travel, spend time with friends & family, etc. My caregiver responsibilities are over, time with family and friends re-established, 3 heart attacks and brittle IDDM. As a nurse and prior hospice experience I have stayed and helped friends stay home and usher them through the death process more often than I ever thought because if the young ages as well. We have to re-evaluate our lives and goals once our caregiver responsibilities are done and it can be confusing the first year. Your goals are spot on and interesting. Anything you post I will watch because of your authenticity ❤️.

I’m going to be ugh 63 this year with MS. I also have a Canadian veteran husband with PTSD and now early short term memory loss….would love the after 50 lifestyle! I think you are wonderful so keep up the great work!!

Agreed Catherine!

I am well over 50 but I love the over 50 lifestyle idea. And decorating!

I love the pace of your videos, please don't change that. You are one of the few calming relaxing voices out there. Please don't feel like you need to be like everyone else. Love the over 50 tips, and reusing what you have. Thank you for blessing us all! ❤

Leslie, all of your ideas are charming, awesome, and verrrry exciting.....just like you are! Praise Jesus that you are feeling so much better! Your faith and your positivity are exactly what we all need, no matter what our ages are. God has given you these special gifts, and you are using them to His glory❣️❣️ YOU make a huge positive difference in more lives than you ever will know! Forever blessings and prayers for you and your precious Jason, Linda.

Leslie, like so many others have said, we love whatever contact you bring to us whenever you bring it to us! You are just a breath of fresh air, and I hope you feel the freedom to do what brings you joy and just know that it will bring us joy as well. ❤

Dear Leslie, You are such a joy! Love your content and appreciate your thoughts to take care of yourself, with that being said we love Jason’s videos too. You have so much on your plate and deal with it all with such grace, and patience. Sending you and your family love and prayers.❤

Leslie… you are an amazing woman. I have often wondered how you can remain so positive with all that you have to deal with. Don’t worry, whatever you put on your channel we will love. You might not see it, but you are an incredibly inspiring person in so many ways to all of us. Jason is so lucky to have a partner like you in such trying times. And, of course you are so multi talented. I am with you.♥️

Whatever you decide to do I'll be watching!! I'm glad you decided to keep Jason in his comfort zone. Blessings to you, Jason and family.

I'm in my 70's, and decluttering, not necessarily buying new, unless it's to replace something that's warn out and I need it! Revamping, perfect. Fresh spin on something...at times, it's a plant, or fresh flowers, rearranging, even figuring out how to freshen my wardrobe. Makeup, yep, I'll watch! Love your videos! Happy New Year!

I enjoy all of your videos. You are always showing us new ways to make our lives better. God Bless you and Jason.

I’m so happy that you’re feeling like a new person. You look wonderful! And so does your office.😊 I will watch you, whatever you decide to do. I started watching you, because of Jason, and his dementia. The situation is very relatable, because I’m the caregiver for my husband. Take care of yourself, and thank you for putting out great videos! 👏🩵🩵👏👏

I love everything you do regarding decorating. Such a good idea to revamp previous projects on your channel. I agree that declutterring space declutters our minds. So grateful you feel so much better this year! Praise Jesus! Hugs for your week ❤

Leslie I will watch you no matter what. I think you are always lifting me up. I love seeing the relationship you have with the Lord! Thanks for posting today you lifted my spirits. Love who you are and what you do.

I'm 65 and love pretty much all your videos. I agree with you over Jason, he deserves his privacy!! I do especially like your porch decorating videos. Keep up the good work and try not to stress over what people want, we're all here because of you!! Maybe instead of buying a bunch of stuff find venues or others who have different decorating ideas.

Leslie, I love everything you do. I must say that I do love the recipes and decor. Everyone cooks and needs new ideas for dinner, snacks, or treats!❤

I want you to do what makes YOU happy Leslie, with No added stress. I will be here, doesn't matter what you choose. Sending you & Jason positive vibes & big ((hugs)) 🤗

Hi Leslie, I’m with the others, I’ll watch whatever you do. I certainly agree that you should STOP doing anything that causes you stress OR to spend unnecessary money. When you vlogged a day in the life type of video, that was fun. You could even do a monthly vlog of laundry, organizing, tidying up, etc. People love to watch those they like doing everyday things we all do. 😊 Whatever the Lord puts on your heart to share will surly be amazing.🙏🏻❤️ Also, I’m thrilled for you that your health has improved!! God is good.

I am in my 70s (how did that happen?). I am interested in your DIY, Jason’s journey with dementia but am in agreement with not sharing too much at this point, decorating ideas (but I’ve always wondered how in the world you managed all your inventory-that would be a major stress for me too-I am preaching and practicing decluttering constantly!) 😊and the over 50 lifestyle stuff is fine as long as it isn’t all you do!

I am 73 years old and I love your videos. I still enjoy decorating and cooking and beauty. Keep doing what you are doing. I love your new ideas. I have 7 children and 23 grandchildren so I am not ready to quit enjoying life. I look forward to each video you put out. ❤️⛄️

I’m in my 50s with two girls, one who has special needs. Like other people have commented, I came here because of your positivity despite your life challenges. Over 50 content is great. Also you don’t have to buy anything and at this stage in life, I can relate to “shopping your home” for decor and simple changes. Good for those who do major DIYs but the simple changes and thrifted finds can also make a difference.

Those of us struggling with loved ones who have dementia would appreciate you honestly presenting the difficulties Jason is facing as time goes on. We don't all have dementia caregivers' support groups, so your videos search that function and are very helpful. Jason doesn't need to be present in the videos, you can do them on your own -- just tell us what you've experienced with Jason during the last month, without sugar coating. Keeping his struggles in a "bubble" doesn't help anyone. Dementia isn't an ugly word, it's a reality for a large segment of the population and is best dealt with using honesty.

Hi Leslie! Happy New Year!!! Great discussion. A few thoughts for you. . . Seeing you declutter your garage, closets etc and the process for those of us who also struggle with this too. Pushing procrastination out of the way to motivate ourselves to ‘Just get it done’. Then finding techniques to keep our spaces that way! And no spend / inexpensive decorating DIYs would be terrific too!!! Not sure if I’d be interested in over 50 lifestyle but I’ll keep coming back now matter what you decide!!!! 👍. Wishing you and Jason a blessed year and the hope that his dementia can be slowed down with new meds and prayers!!!! Thanks for all you share and know we all love you!!!

Healthy and Sustainable lifestyle for 2024!

I love the new direction you are taking your channel. I am especially excited about a series about using what you already have to update your home. I am not a big DIY person and I stopped buying a ton of new decor a long time ago, so this sounds like a fun and refreshing new take on home decorating videos. Having said that, I do enjoy all of your decorating videos, especially your table and porch decorating ones, but it makes so much sense that you do not want to keep purchasing new stuff all the time, especially if the only reason you are doing it is to use it in a video. Decorating with what you already own sounds really fun to me. I also love the idea of over-50 lifestyle and recipe videos. I am almost 63 so I think I will find the over-50 lifestyle videos useful. By the way, I was surprised to hear you are going to be 50 - I am a relatively new subscriber and thought you were early 40s at the most. I am sad to hear Jason's dementia has progressed so much recently. I pray for you both ❤

I will watch anything you post! I'm 58.....

I love you .I love Jason .I love your family and grandchildren .I will watch what ever you put out 🌻🌻🌻

Over 50 beauty/ lifestyle. Turning 49 soon and I have MS and just love your personality! When I am having a bad health day you cheer me up. Love over 50 skin/ beauty/ healthy eating ideas. Don’t feel that you have to buy stuff for us- being disabled I am on a budget and understand not wanting more stuff and clutter. Happy New Year to you and Jason💕

I’m so glad you’re feeling better! I’m like you in that I’ve just accumulated too much stuff. Ugh. I purged a lot through a garage sale and donations last fall, and I took a break from buying, but then I bought more Christmas decor. I’d love to get some ideas on how to purge what you really don’t need, with keeping enough to have things to bring out seasonally or for a fresh change. But do not push yourself! You and Jason need time together, and at the same time you need time for YOU. Bless you and Jason!

I had to laugh when you talked about not wanting to keep buying things. Since I started watching you, I've definitely been buying more....I don't want a lot of stuff either, so I'm all for using what I already have!!! I really like all your ideas...especially the interior design ideas!!! Am keeping you and Jason covered in prayer!!! Thank you so much for all you do!!!

I’m 65 and have a merciful heart and a gift of exhortation. I love your story!!! I pray the Lord pours out HIS wisdom for your channel. He is faithful! I am her to pray for you and encourage you. ❤ you are so very precious. And I love your ideas of focusing “over 50” ideas! Bring it on. !!

Leslie, I’m 63 and love your channel and your inspiration! I love your idea of over 50 lifestyle even though I’m way over 50! You hang in there and your people are here for you & we’ll be here for whatever your content! Keep giving us your decorating videos, especially the holidays & seasonal changes. I hope you & Jason had a great Christmas and I look forward to what 2024 has in store for A Charming Abode!!! ♥️🎄♥️

Maybe how to declutter and get rid of precious items! So hard!

I am well over 50 also. Retired, unable to work outside the home. I get very lonely but, your videos bring me such joy. All of them. Keep them coming!

Love the over 50 ideas☀️

I am here for YOU!!! I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, you are beautiful on the inside and out. I am here for anything and everything you post. You always bring a smile to my face, you inspire me in so many ways and I appreciate you more than words can say. Do what feels right and we will all be here to follow along whatever path you choose to lead us ❤

We have such unpredictable times and people need tips on saving money, so “using what you have” is a great idea. Also, our faith is the most important . God bless. So happy for you to be feeling better.

Honestly, I like the "I bought things from 2 different stores" type videos, but they also make me a little uncomfortable wondering what happens to all that stuff. I'd be just as happy to see you style things you already have in different ways, or maybe thrift for items, or try out some other second hand sources for home decor, like Poshmark. I'm also here for the lifestyle, crafting or whatever else you decide to post! Maybe even some decluttering content where you talk about why you are keeping vs. decluttering some things. ❤

I am 50 and love your channel. You're amazing. I love all your ideas. I am all about not purchasing a bunch of new things. After Christmas decorations are put away I actually move decor around. So things look new(ish). I would love ideas about using what we might already have. I do this with my clothes...shopping my closet or going thrifting for things. But it helps me to not have to go out and buy things. You are such a blessing!!!

I started watching your channel a couple of years ago because one of your videos showed up in my "suggestions" and it was around the time that you uploaded a video about Jason's early onset Dementia. After that video - I subbed. It's your sweet and caring personality that keeps me watching. My lifestyle and my schedule doesn't allow me to decorate a lot and "Charming Abode" is the only decorating channel I watch. It's not the decorating, the DIY projects or the recipes that keeps me watching your videos. I enjoy hearing you tell your "story" with an authentic and genuine heart and if your "story" is mixed in with some decorating and DIY projects - that's just "extra" (ha). Going forward ---- create the content that interests you and just be yourself and your subs will stay and you'll build your channel and grow. You are a a true joy to watch and I'm sure that most of your subscribers would agree. Happy New Year to you and Jason and God bless you both.

I’m 68 and not really interested in buying more “things” to decorate. However, I I need to update my mantel over the fireplace and your channel is where I had planned to go for inspiration. You and Jason are so sweet and I’ll enjoy watching whatever works best for you. God Bless you!

Leslie anything you do interests me... it's YOU that we all enjoy so much your beautiful spirit ❤🙏

Yes on the over 50 topics. I also like the idea of using what you have in a new way. I always enjoy what you do.

Would love to have you declutter your garage or closets. Need some motivation! Love ALL your videos Leslie.

Yes please, cut back on shopping. I love the idea of shopping your home, upcycling and finding ways to give things a new purpose. Although, I do enjoy when you visit decor stores to see what is trending out there. Your decision to limit videos on the other channel makes perfect, loving sense.

Love the idea of over 50’s content. I too am at a stage of life where I do not want to accumulate more. I have less energy to deal with lots of stuff so I actually love decluttering videos and making homes fresh by taking away decor rather than adding more. I love your style sense, so please do not feel at all pressured to buy new items to decorate. With your sense of style, you would be able to show us how to swap around our light items of furniture and decor to freshen up our homes. Please take care of yourself as you have a lot on your plate. I will keep following you regardless of what you decide your content will be.

Hi Leslie! I am super interested in over 50 beauty! But honestly, I love all your videos. Your recipes a couple of weeks ago were the BOMB!! I know what you mean about clutter. I get so nervous with it! I keep purging and it feels so good! Hope you and Jason have a Happy New Year. What a wonderful thing that immunotherapy is! So happy for you.

It sounds like you have a whole series of declutter you could do if Jason will let you. One drawer at a time is plenty. I do love seeing those. It is very motivating and the before and after is usually so striking. Reusing what we have is another great series because we all see things a little differently and the uses some come up with are really clever or the changes people make to things they already have that gives them new life is inspiring. I am twenty years over fifty so that series on 50s lifestyle would be fun to watch. Fitness tips? Helpful routines?Always love recipes. Always love seeing what a difference something as simple as paint can make. Love my faith so any Bible insights as you go through your journey would be great. Definitely understand that updates on Jason may not be helpful to him at this stage, but we still love his humor and are encouraged by what he does do, so a "what Jason's been up to" compilation video might be fun occasionally and keep that channel going. Might mean videoing him doing yardwork, housework, meals with you, seeing grandkids...more upbeat things. Just seeing the picture of you before you knew your immune issues and your picture now, we can see a difference. From the clip you showed talking about your health, the circles under your eyes were so dark and now there are none. So glad you are feeling healthy. It is something we all tend to take for granted. All the best and God bless.

I’m approaching 60, I’d love to see videos of ideas over 50.

I agree with most of your other followers, whatever you do, we will follow. We are here for you and Jason. 💗

I agree with you about Jason’s channel. It needs to be Jason’s choice as to what you share. You are doing an amazing job

Then the name of the channel should be changed? Living with dementia should include the negatives…I thought that’s what the channel was for, documenting the “journey”, especially for other dementia patients/caregivers going through similar experiences. Just my thoughts.

Absolutely love the idea of revamping things and changing things around just to make things look just a little different. I do this all the time in my home and I love the idea of you doing it and showing me new ideas.

Im over 50 as well. A few of my favorite types of videos I watch regularly are cleaning routines. I like to see how other people do things. Like do you dust daily, or once a week , vacuuming daily or what? I find that I struggle with a routine. Also I like watching decluttering and organization videos. Of course I love the decorating videos but I love the variety as well.

Sending love to you and to your family. I will happily watch whatever you create. Love your diy, crafting, recipes, decorating. The idea of buying product just to let us choose has never been my favorite. I would not shop at Pottery Barn. I don’t need to spend that much. I love finding new looks with something I have. Your health journey is amazing.I am so glad you are feeling better. So whatever you decide to share…count me in. Happy to watch.

I will be turning 70 next month but I don’t feel that old yet. I think if you do the over 50 videos, we may have things to offer you as well. I also understand the hoarding issue as my husband is struggling with me wanting to be more of a minimalist person and downsize now that we are getting older. I just found you today but will keep you in mind!

Leslie, I will honestly watch whatever you do. I became first interested in Jason’s diagnosis as I am a retired nurse, then started watching A Charming Abode. Recipes, declutterring, book recommendations, your faith are just suggestions. I love it when you catch a very short clip of Jason maybe helping in the kitchen.But I agree with not filming the negative and protecting your privacy and his. 35 years ago I was diagnosed with high cholesterol. I tried statins off and on through the years, but side effects and small reductions were not worth the risks. My dad and brother both had open heart surgeries, but God finally hit me over the head in saying no to statins and I couldn’t tolerate anything else. Maybe 5-6 years ago a specialist quickly diagnosed me with the genetic condition of high Lipoprotein A. Sure enough, some of my family has it, too. I give myself a shot every two weeks with absolutely no side effects and a normal cholesterol. So I was so happy to see that you finally have a strong immune system! ❤️🙏❤️

Anything you put out I will view. I’ll be turning 65 this year and enjoy decorating, cooking, and organization but I enjoy watching YOU so I’ll continue to support your channel no matter what you put out.

I LOVE YOU LESLIE! ❤️🙏😀 I pray for you and Jason daily! You are a wonderful Christian person, that God is using in such a wonderful way to inspire us all! ❤️🙏😀 May God Bless You Daily! 😀🙏❤️

I'm in my early fifties, married with two kids and my 87 year old mom living with us. I love watching your channel. Just found it this past fall. Jason's story pulled me in but I love you honesty and down to earth nature. You do you and we will watch 😊

Sounds like a great idea Leslie! Holding you, Jason and, your family in our hearts and our prayers as you move through 2024. Love and hugs💜

Congratulations Leslie on feeling better and that your immune therapy was so beneficial for you. I remember watching that video and feeling so bad for you, as having good health and feeling good is, as you said, life changing 🥰..with regards to your other channel, which I watch as well, continued prayers for Jason and your entire family as you journey down the path of dementia🙏🙏.. your content on that channel was very informative and no doubt helpful to many, but totally understand you wanting to protect him and slow down a bit. Wishing you all a blessed 2024 ☺️

When I first saw this episode I knew there would be many comments of support and love for you and WOW, was I right! I hope receiving all that love gives you peace snd confidence moving forward with your show. I am proud to be counted among the many who care about you and Jason deeply, support whatever direction you take your channel, and count you as a friend.

I love your decorating tips! you don't have to shop at Pottery barn and do the comparison staging, cause in reality, I, and probably lots of your followers, don't shop there any way. I love a bargain, so I, try to save money where I can. I love cooking videos, and DIY's ,to bring new life to an old item. I love watching your videos.

I LOVE the idea of showing us ways to revamp what we already own! I’ve been following you for a couple years now and your advise has truly changed my home but living on a soon to be fixed income I’m concerned that I will not be able to continue decorating my house to that level. PLEASE take your old videos and show us how to ump the looks up without draining our pockets! I’m so excited!!

I’m 62 my husband is a stroke survivor, I’m his only caregiver it’s not easy but love wins. I enjoy all your ideas and videos. I only keep up with KZread and Facebook these days. No time for instagram or other platforms. We moved recently and major downsized! I try not to buy new, but am always interested in reusing/repurposing to make over what I already have. I love to shop thrift stores, garage sales, even antique shops to add a few new things that way. Keep going love your cheerful attitude.

My favorite videos of yours to watch include: you decorating your mantle or coffee table for the upcoming holiday/season, quick DIY, stuff for hosting like folding napkins, hot chocolate bar, drink/appetizer recipes. I would love to see more of hosting holiday parties for your grandkids ideas for each holiday since I have little kids. For example: table decor, activities or craft for them, treats.

I love to watch you - really would LOVE to learn the art of declutterring watching you. Your channel about Jason has helped me to realize I was not alone in the struggle with my husband’s FTD. However, I completely understand there comes a time when you need to protect him and maybe stop sharing. Both of you provided a blessing for so many of us, but you don’t have to continue to infinity. ❤

Hi Leslie, the first video of yours that a watched was on decluttering. I stuck around because you are so charming. Loved your honesty about both of your health issues. I’m almost 58, just for reference. I’m not interested in purchasing “things” that’s just not in my budget. I enjoy thrifting ideas. Hope this gives you some feedback. Happy New Year!

I just absolutely LOVE whatever you do. It's fun listening to all the ideas you come up with. I love refreshing things. I do it all the time and you have given me so many ideas. There is nothing a can of spray paint won't fix. Decluttering. Boy, I need to do that as well. I'm 73 and have started to go thru my things. It's so hard to get rid of things that are or used to be important. I look forward to you sharing about Jason. I am so sorry that it is so stressful for you and that it will only get worse. I admire you for your strength and honesty. So, honestly anything you want to do is truly fine with me because it is from you. You are what makes it fun and enjoyable. Thank you for asking. My prayers are with you.🙏🙏🙏

I love the idea of living my best life after 50, though I am well past your age. ☺️. I feel like a “young” age 72 with a husband with late stage Alzheimer’s. You inspire me with your love for Jason and for Jesus. ❤️

Over 50 lifestyle videos would be great.

Love your DIY projects. Designs and ideas. Love the over the 50 and over concept too-that solid be fun. Most importantly please pace yourself w sharing your projects. The office looks great can’t wait to see the charming abode in the background.

Hi Leslie! I'm 65. Another consideration about your demographics...those of us who are older are probably retired, so we actually have more time to watch KZread videos 😆 In all seriousness, I LOVE your channel! You have taught me so much these past few years (let's just say I wouldn't be without my dough bowls now). One of the advantages of doing videos for an "over 50" crowd, is that we have spent years accumulating "stuff" like home decor, so even though we enjoy seeing all of the new things, perhaps a video or two on how you are repurposing what you have for use in other rooms, or even how you decide to let go of some things would be interesting. Trust me, many of us are in that season. It's hard to let go of things that you love. I'm struggling with that right now because it's time to downsize. So anything you do using a more minimalist approach (but not minimalism) would definitely appeal to me. Keep on doing your videos of what's new in the stores though. Those are just plain fun, even if you don't buy anything! Thank you for all of your hard work bringing these videos to us each week. It shows! Wishing you and Jason a Happy New Year and may God bless your 2024!

I honestly love your little snippets when you’re in the car, waiting for Jason who’s at a doctor appointment. Your eyes are shining bc you have your favorite Starbucks drink and are chatting about what you’re looking forward to-grandson’s visit, a spa day with your daughter, or fishing! It absolutely shows me how to seek joy in the simple blessings I have in everyday life.

I’m 70 and thoroughly enjoy your vlogs …home decorating,recipes,DIY,do whatever you wish to do and we will watch it ! 🤗

Happy New Year Leslie, so glad you are feeling better. All your ideas sound wonderful, I'm 62 and love your ideas on decor and baking...you make it all so simple and fun. All of The Lords Best to you and Jason in 2024❤

I love that you are looking to change it up and be innovative, using what you have in a different way. Looking forward to this year's content and new ideas.

Great video - I will be 60 this month. (first time I put that in writing) lol Been in a bit of denial but it will be okay and good and I am so glad I am still alive and kicking. I enjoy your channel. I appreciate your transparency and your positive outlook. I am the caretaker of my 21yo disabled son. I can relate to so much of what you said about TMI. Regarding your channel, I am so glad you are on KZread. Honestly, I do not go to the other social media sites because I just do not want to spend that much time in front of my computer. Something I do enjoy watching from other decor channels is when the person goes into other peoples homes and decorates. It doesn't even have to be a room. It could just be a front porch or a bathroom or a shelf. Tours of other peoples homes or stores such as a garden center. Just to look at the decor and how it is being displayed (not to buy). Hope that makes sense. I do recognize that this may not be an option for you as you are also a caretaker. I would love more of the lifestyle stuff as well. Health & Beauty tips for mature women. BTW, I have been using the mascara you suggested on one of your recent videos and really like it. Happy New Year to all of us. (I think this is the longest comment I have ever written). 😁

I love your idea about not purchasing "new stuff", good idea Leslie and I would love it and over 50 lifestyle.

I love your openness about living for the Lord! I am about to turn 41 and have three kiddos -10/14/&15. I am a wife like you and my Granny had dementia. So many of the things you have said in your videos have encouraged me to keep pressing on in the faith in every circumstance.

Dont purchase new things for us. Do a 1 year no spend on decor. Ypu can swap but not shop. Swap with local friends or whatever, but no shopping. You can totally do it!

Thank you for not buying more stuff. It’s my least favorite thing. It’s an American thing: buying new stuff every season. We make too many consumer goods, buy too many and dispose of too much. It’s not sustainable. We can decorate using items from multiple sources. And we don’t need to copy trends. And since you appeal to an older demographic, we know that we are not accumulating more, we are releasing more stuff. Thank you for sharing your experiences with Jason. You both have the right to share as much or as little as is comfortable. I like the mix of things you present. Just be you.

You’re such a sweet young lady. I love the idea that you have of just using what you have and revamping and using it in a different way. I’m with you on buying new all the time and trying to keep up with trends. That can be costly, overwhelming and creating clutter that’s just one more thing on your plate. And you already have a full plate. You be your “own trend”. We all love your talent and enjoy watching you share that with us. It inspires us to use what we already have in a new way too.❤

Im 71 and have only watched for a few months. I am with the other ladies when they say they will watch you no matter what you do. You are adorable and we enjoy you. I do need to declutter and turn my den into a bedroom for the great grand kids to have overnights.Bless you sweet lady.

I really like your idea of recycling decor we already have. I don't like clutter and we retired to the Baja to a smaller house.

Praying for you Leslie, Jason, and family. ❤️💯🙏🏻

Your channel IS fun and useful!!! You can do no wrong. You have more talent in your little finger than all of us combined! You are such a bright light and infuse positivity into all of us. How you do it, I don’t know?!! I love all your new ideas. Do what makes you happy and we’ll keep coming back! I’d like to see how you do things like handle paperwork, meal plan, balance all you do, stay thin!!!!…all the day to day is so interesting to pull tips from. Idea…It would be fun to watch you help a neighbor improve their home somehow. Happy New Year to you both and God Bless❤️🍾🥂
