Wow! 8 rainy days in a row! We live in the Midwest and have only had 2-3 rainy nights or days in the last few years!!! We’re so dry. I so enjoyed your “cookie talk” I’m fighting breast cancer and although I’ve had surgery so no more cancer! Thank You Lord!! But there’s alot of slow, long recovery. I’m usually an upbeat person and do really believe God has everything under control. But I’m so tired of the continuous “be careful” “don’t do that” but your offer of a hug, cookie and chat made me cry but feel so much better! You have no idea how much I needed that!! God uses you so much! I pray for your family and your ministry❣️ Love in Christ❤

[@aprilmiller7403]

Nothing wrong with holding hands at the grocery store. It’s sweet to see couples showing affection in everyday life.

[@DanaK817]

I super love the scriptures on the screen. Thank you for the reminder that temporary feelings don't last...the sun will return if we just have patience and faith. ❤

[@debralawler-nt9si]

Megan that's the beauty of being a mom you choose your battles... One day one step at a time

[@carolwhisenhunt7504]

Megan, your heart is so big and genuine. I feel you take on everyone's burdens and that hurts. You've had a tough year since you had Baylor. Give yourself some grace. I'm glad to see you recognize what's going on and you are trying to fix it. God is going to get you through this rough season. I'm sure it's a season to grow and trust more. I know you know that. Praying for you, your family and your nephew. Hang on to that knot! Love you.

[@Cheri94]

Loved when you said “if I could I would hug you and give a oooey gooey monster cookie” funny thing is I know you would!! You’re so sweet. Thank you Megan for making such calming videos, with a wholesome undertone, always Godly❤️

[@14859hnl]

You spoke right to be with your talk about depression 🩵 your channel is so refreshing. Thank you for your content.

[@amandalandvlog8438]

My mom passed in 2018. Her birthday is coming up at the start of November. I've been feeling so down. This video really came at a timely moment. Thank You! For making it. I know I need to feel the feelings and things do get better. Sunshine does come. Eventually.

[@houseofbows]

My dad passed in 2020 and today's his bday. Hope you're doing well. 🙏 it sucks!

[@Barbara-pz8ky]

Sweet video Megan…I can’t believe how big the kids are getting…Miller is your home helper already while the big kids are at school and little Baylor is standing on his own…so adorable…

[@justPaper-n-ink]

I’m Lutheran and our church is also reading the New Testament in 90 days. We are divided up in groups of 6-7 people and when we’ve completed our reading for the day we text our group a 👍🏼 or a fun emoji. I’m really enjoying it!!

[@krissyskorner236]

You did a great little piece about our bakery Megan, thank you so much! Loved the whole video and yes it was great to see the sunshine again. 🎉 Stop by anytime for a hot pretzel, no need to buy.

[@Dmarie1078]

I love your videos. My heart has been so heavy lately as well. I'm in Florida, so between the last 2 hurricanes and election season, I've been so stressed out. I have prayed more than I've prayed my entire life. I read a book recently called the Stuggle is Real. It's a Christian read, and for some reason, that book has made me feel lighter. It goes over so many biblical lives and the struggles they all went through and how God was with them. Highly recommend. I'm definitely making the cinnamon rolls.❤❤❤

[@elizabethbaus4173]

I love seeing your new video every Thursday! Evonnie's little list at the coffee shop was so sweet! 😍

[@MeganFoxUnlocked]

She cracks me up!

[@jenn-j6b]

Megan, i am so thankful for your channel. You inspire me to be such a better mom to my children through homemaking. Thank you! I am in York county and love your footage of lancaster county. Makes me want to move! I'm on the wrong side of the susquehanna!!

[@kcotjo]

Megan you always bring sunshine to my day here in the middle of Nebraska! I can't imagine rain for 11 days as we have not had rain for SO long and all across Nebraska we are in a fire watch due to our high winds and dry land. After watching you for so long I feel like you are a friend whom I so enjoy watching. You are so patient with your boys wanting to help. It's so fun to see your children and how you allow them to be with you in the kitchen. I just joined Costco again but it is 4 hours from us so I don't get their often. When we go see our kids in Omaha I get to go. I mostly go for the paper products and fun items around Christmas. Thank you for sharing your days and family. God bless!!

[@brandyweidner602]

I'm in south eastern SD I'm with you on the wind & no rain for quite sometime now ,,

[@kcotjo]

@@brandyweidner602 praying for rain! I hope you get some as well

[@MeganFoxUnlocked]

Wow! I hope you get some rain soon! and FOUR HOURS!!! Wow!

[@ednatroyer1307]

What a blessing to get that amount of rain!! We are so dry here in Ohio been praying and prating for a whole week of rain. Have to haul water for our cattle. In Gods timing we will be blessed with good soakers of rain!!

[@creamtherabbit77]

You can make your own egg bites at home with a muffin tin! They're delicious, I made quiche lorraine, salmon cream cheese, and cheddar bacon recently!

[@rebeccatirrell8321]

I love your home so much. It is so YOU and cozy. What a gift for your family ❤

[@hannahhames4412]

Thank you so much for talking about "rainy days" in homemaking! I totally get making cookies. I do that a lot, especially with my kids, when we are having a bad day. Gives a little sunshine to our day ❤

[@kindnessmatters4068]

Josh: "That's what WE ARE!!" 😅 A realist like me. Cracked me up. 😊 Megan, you're like my husband, so I understand you.❤ You're a sweetheart.

[@mama2boys123]

I just bought groceries this week and spent over $500. I stocked up on canned goods and meat. I was literally out of everything, even condiments. I was astounded at the prices. Ì am blessed to be able to be able to shop. That was just for me. Paper products and dog food added too. I've never felt depressed but the isolation from Covid hit me hard. My doctor asked me how l was doing. I can't believe how honest I was, I said, "Well, I cry a lot." I've stepped away from the news. Helene and Milton has broken my heart. Prayer keeps me grounded. ❤

[@fanniemiller6107]

I have a steamer like that for 2 years now and I love it. I've used it for blackberries, grapes and apples. So good! I love your videos. Thank you for your hard work.

[@K.M.-ph1yp]

I love your Fall-idays series! I am watching for the “supper in a pumpkin “ recipe again. Would that be something you could put on your website?

[@Maddy-Fox]

I live in WNC and the destruction and devastation from hurricane Helene is unimaginable even when you see it in person. As a mother myself, my heart hurts for the mothers and fathers who have lost their children due to flooding and mudslides here. The homes and lives lost is just heartbreaking……. I know I have been hugging my babies a lot tighter lately and praising Gods for keeping my family safe.

[@RobinStyons]

Amen. I live in central N.C. - Sandhills. My husband had been up to WNC multiple times to help with disaster relief. Everyone mentions FL, but if only they could see N.C. it is completely heartbreaking. Hugs to you!

[@connieslappey3762]

We have been praying for our neighbors in Western North Carolina! Hugs from Eastern North Carolina!

[@samanthakwait8782]

I love to embroider but it is such a treasure to know how to make clothes. I’d love to learn

[@judymcintire8061]

Thank you Megan for bringing some sunshine in my world! Love the Skirt! SO BEAUTIFUL!

[@CharlottesWright]

Thanks for being real Megan! I'm going to make cookies for my hubby tomorrow now 😊 I do the same thing with worrying in the night, and feeling silly in the morning! And seasonal depression happens, I have no tips as of now 😅

[@desertdweller8374]

Sorry - the rainy days were our fault. We came for a month to our beloved Pa. from Arizona and the first 9 days we were there were gloriously gloomy, cloudy, cool, and rainy! We soaked up every minute of it. In Az. where we live, the sun shines about 350 days a year. It was above 112 when we got on the plane and it remained from 110 - 120 the entire time we were in Pa. The sun is relentless. It's hot, it's dry, it hurts my eyes and burns my skin. We've been here over 30 years and we miss rain and clouds so very much!!! We came for our fill and we enjoyed every minute of it. Perspective is a funny thing! Humans are funny as well - we always want what we cannot have, I guess! Anyway, loved the video as always and I hope you get more fall sunshine now that we are back home to Az!

[@charlotta5660]

As someone who's been suffering from depression for over half my life, I can tell you that the postpartum variety is no joke. It's probably the worst I've ever felt so far. And I don't want to know what it had been like if I hadn't already been taking SSRIs. And you can use that steamer for any fruit or berries. Ok, maybe not citrus fruit but definitely for apples, pears, raspberries etc.

[@hilltophomestead1328]

Another lovely video Megan. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on "rainy days". I'm one of the mom's who had to resort to medication after our 4th was born. The postpartum anxiety did a number on me, my family and my marriage. Luckily I swallowed my pride before any lasting damage was done. And also, I didn't even notice you weren't wearing your veil until you mentioned it. You're an example of light and modesty even without it ❤

[@kristaleisure7978]

Pumpkin cinnamon rolls sounds like a perfect cozy autumn treat! I am definitely going to have to make these soon. My Sunday school class loves it when I surprise them with freshly baked cinnamon rolls- especially the teacher (my husband)!

[@nicolerodriguez3488]

God led me to this video right when I needed it 💗 I struggle with depression often, and I needed this reminder, thank you ♥️

[@hollylantrip4902]

I'm a mom of 4, 11 yo down to almost 3 yo. My favorite thing to do with my husband is go get lunch and shop at Sam's Club, just me and him! I love how raw you are. I struggle with anxiety and have had several bouts of depression after 3 of my children. I'm in a sunny season finally. ❤

[@audreysews]

I love your videos. Thanks for the sewing tip on the skirt. Ive never tried the lettuce edge but I will now. Its beautiful as is your skirt. I love skirts/dresses and aprons.

[@Sammiejammie521]

“Do the next thing”. I love this ❤

[@easeyll]

Thank you for sharing about mental health. I’ve had depression and anxiety post partum for both babies so far 😢 it hindered my breastfeeding journey both times which led to crippling guilt. But I found a therapist who is incredibly supportive by just googling Christian counselors in my area ❤

[@Alena23bloom]

We don’t have a Sam’s Club, where I live, but thankfully my job provides us a Costco membership, which is so awesome 🤩

[@jwarnstarsmile]

Thanks for this Megan.. I have been feeling very low for a few days after finding the 100th (it feels like) infection in my body this year. I think we finally found the root one causing the others though, thank goodness. One foot in front of the other ❤

[@mrshanjohn359]

Thank you Megan. I recognized myself in a lot of what you shared and I just hope you feel appreciated and seen. God is good through the sunshine and the rain ❤

[@AutumnFH]

My mom and mother in law both have Costco memberships. I usually just go with them or have them pick up a couple things for me. We really like their Trail Mix and it’s a really great price!

[@ChristinaMotzer]

Ich finde es klasse, dass du auch über deine Ängste und Depressionen sprichst, ich hoffe, es geht dir gut

[@ChelseaNichole2911]

We made a pit stop in Lancaster on our vacation and we loved it! We enjoyed sunset at September Farm and oh my word…the cheese tarts were so so good! My latte was amazing there too. Thanks for the recommendation!

[@beccamora5289]

Be blessed that yall have had so much rain! Here in Arkansas we haven't had any rain in almost 2 months. Our leafs aren't really turning color and it's so so dry here. All our grass is dead and leafs are dieing as well. We are in a major drought. We desperately need rain!!

[@reneedoddrell2158]

Yay for sun and rain!! Grace to you in this season of getting many things done while having Littles

[@deniseunruh8752]

Yay, for Martin's Pretzels! I grew up on them, too. My aunt helped twist pretzels there at one time in her life. I can't get those good hard pretzels where I live now.

[@StephanieBoncuk]

I’m on a cruise and I deal with anxiety and depression. And I’m sick with the flu need lots of prayer

[@jessicacannon7330]

Love that skirt u made. That stitch u did at the bottom is so pretty❤.

[@jackiemaccaskill2111]

Yay!! Thank you. Can’t wait to watch. Happy Thursday ❤ xo

[@kathylezcano8793]

Thank you for sharing us all with me love watching your weekly video. Love your content you always bring me joy God is good. And you have such a beautiful family God bless.❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Tonya-g4f]

I really loved the pretzel tour so neat! Love your videos you inspire me with your recipes ❤

[@lisas321]

You are the BEST Mom! So much patience! I just had 1 and didn’t enjoy the time like I should. Groceries are unreal- we went to Sam’s and spent 300. Did get a pork loin and sliced it into thin chops, 2 Roasts marked down to 4 and 90/10 hamburger for 3.

[@cyndis9314]

Explain how you make the grape juice after you can it. It seems that maybe you made grape concentrate and then add something to what you canned to make a half gallon? I didn’t understand. I must be missing something. Asp I have a steamer like that and I had terrible results when I didn’t take the fruit off the stems. Yours looked clear and lovely. Glad you had better luck than me. I destemmed my grapes the last 2 years and had much better results. Love watching you and your family! Thanks for the great videos.

[@chelseaspence7528]

Megan, we need the recipe for the cereal/granola that you added milk on top of. My kiddos are watching with me and said, “oh mom, that looks soo good!!” Love your channel. Thanks for sharing! @MeganFoxUnlocked

[@jukes243]

Yes ladies. Get help if you need it. Doctors can help with high anxiety as well. An acquaintance of mine took her own life. So get help. Please. I love rainy homemaking days. I prefer Costco over Sam's Club. Like your hair without the veil, your black sandals, and your little helper. Martin's Pretzel Company looks interesting. The ladies were sweet to your kids. Thanks, Megan (p.s. It was kind of you to make a latte for the bus driver).

[@RhodaDemmert-u8v]

Megan, your Costco/ Lowe’s date nights are so relatable! We have 5 kids and often those end up being date night spots for the hubby and I too! 😅 Your channel is a day of sunshine to my life every Thursday! God bless you!

[@autismenlightenment]

Lol my 3.5 yr old daughter are sitting here eating lunch together and watching your video. I had to go take something out of tge oven and Miralleena says- mommy is that the dad or the mom w the kid? I glanced over quickly while trying to not burn myself and i see an adult from behind and say i think thats the daddy. Then i said no thats the mommy. And she says but she doesnt have her bonnet on! 😂 my kid does not miss a thing and she loves your family. Love the matching skirt you made and thanks for tip on lettuce leaf hem. I hate hems because they never lay correctly after they come out of the wash!

[@jordanmagana81]

I go to Costco Monday mornings right when they open & its a breeze to get in!

[@allisonw1547]

Megan, Sam’s club is where it’s at! They do free pickup now too, they just added it this August, even for just the basic membership. So it’s just like Walmart. The savings are 100% worth the membership

[@allisonw1547]

What do your kids do while you are doing chores? I always feel guilty not playing with them, but I know that it’s good for them to play on their own. How do you balance giving your kids attention while also getting your homemaking done? I feel like I’m never balancing it enough.

[@nancydineen6797]

I don’t understand the anger from Megan about shopping at Costco. You’re a household of 6. You are the perfect demographic for Costco.

[@mt1885]

hey girl- loved the video!😁Always enjoy seeing the kiddos😊 Such yummy food- great job Megan😋👍Thank you for being an inspiration❤ And great Costco haul🤗 Hope it was sunny in Lancaster county today. Y'all have a blessed weekend🥰

[@wendyzimmerman6002]

We’ve driven by it many times but never stopped very interesting. Thank you for sharing.

[@micahroyster4502]

Thank you for the video Megan!! 🤎

[@maryellenmusser3531]

An easier way to make grape juice is by filling a quart jar half-full with clean grapes and 1/2 cup of sugar and can. When ready to drink strain and add a quart of water. Super easy and fast.

[@helenmchugh4632]

Do you dissolve yeast in the milk and butter?

[@robinrobinson191]

Her little to do list 🥰

[@hannahhames4412]

We go to Costco and always get 2 carts 😄 The kids sit in one, but we always end up putting stuff in both carts. Luckily where I live, we have 2 different Costcos. We go to the newly built one and it is pretty chill. Especially if you go on a week day. We try not to go on Sunday

[@Dana-mb1hd]

Hooray for fallidays 🍁with my absolute favorite KZbinr! I am making your sausage sheet pan dinner as I watch! Megan💖your channel is a blessing thank you💖💖.

[@DarkQueen619]

I'm pretty sure those are pints Megan. But that's amazing! It feels good to get thoes kind of projects done!

[@bettyloar2238]

I’d like to give Miller a big hug❤

[@erin3587]

Loved the vid!! And Miller's sneaky move at 14:24😋

[@MeganFoxUnlocked]

haha! A little Easter egg!

[@WanderingWools]

I would love to make grape juice. Thank you for talking us on your adventures. Love it all.

[@jenniestacy1466]

So cute. Miller is going to be a chef. Love your sweet family home life.

[@alisondoughty2194]

Lovely vlog Megan.You never change.People so relate to you being so human.The children as beautifully as ever.We in Scotland sympathise re the rain .It rains here from September to the folliwing April unless its very cold ,snowing or icy.We are so used to it .Its a nice surprise when the sun appears.I hear that your Menonite families are going to make a big dufference in your political election next month.We in UK are in post election and waiting for the government Budget very soon.Thank goodness for a government as most folks wouldn' t know where to begin .Hope your weather changes for a while now.🎉😄🗽

[@susananderson1071]

Makes sense as it's a membership warehouse.

[@pamelabell5897]

I Hope Y'all Stay Safe 🙏

[@debbieheal5938]

I’m up in Canada, Northern Saskatchewan and I paid $9.49 for a lb of butter this week. I’m retired and all the kids are grown up, I don’t usually pay attention to the prices the same way I did when I was feeding my family, but that shocked me!

[@abigailzander4568]

I totally understand the seasonal sadness. I’ve been having neurological issues going on and haven’t been able to drive, so it’s just me and my daughter inside all day long. I think the rain makes it a little harder. God is good though!!

[@aaliyahdurst5658]

Thanks for another great video! I love the skirt. 💕

[@pampayne9033]

Great video. Thank you for sharing.

[@S.e.r.a.i.n.a]

Love your vlogs! ❤ Would also love to see more of your dog, and maybe a video where you explain how you organize the life with dog & kids, eg what do you do with your puppy when you go on an outing like costco

[@lynnealexander1200]

Until you mentioned it I didn’t notice your missing veil. It’s all good!

[@janetmckellips930]

I feel for you! We've been 3 months since any rain here in Oklahoma! Waiting patiently! 😊

[@catherinecorn2371]

I used to do Sam's and Costco alone, with my own 3, plus any children I was watching that day, which was sometimes 4 under age 4. 😂 Maybe my nerves were permanently fried. 🤔 I love to see on a rainy day... It's the perfect activity. Dresses, in my opinion, are soooo much easier than skirts and blouses.

[@TheModestMama]

OMG i was looking up a recipe for Pumpkin cinnamon rolls 10 minutes ago then got it all printed out and then switched over here and saw your title LOL

[@kendraminickdc6421]

Did you water bath or pressure can the grape juice?

[@momoflittleladies]

I like Sams over Costco too; it’s better laid out here (though it gets super busy!). The only thing Costco has going for it is the organic baking supplies and flour… lol 😂

[@shadegarden7375]

I love the Chicken salad with pecans and cranberries from Costco!! We shop there and Aldi’s…. Gas is so much less at Costco!!

[@carolyn683]

I can barely stand cloudy days. After about two in a row I'm going crazy.

[@HeatherPorch]

I am with you!

[@kajehomar7503]

Megan, you’re not the only one who hates going to Costco, and the one in Lancaster is so crowded a lot. I like their reams of toilet paper, paper towels, and tissues and they have great snacks. But the crowds make me so nervous.

[@mishloud4215]

So I am wondering if Miller is going to be a chef!!! He is so cute!

[@MeganFoxUnlocked]

I hope so!

[@reneeadolph1309]

I sure like your content. You do a great job.

[@MeganFoxUnlocked]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@TerriSpringer]

Costco hotdogs at 1.50 with a drink is my favorite dinner when I finish shopping. I do like Costco better than Sam’s and I think it’s where you started shopping that makes the difference. My Grandmother made Concord Grape jelly and it was amazing. We got to drink the grape juice too. Welch’s used to be good but I feel it’s not the same recipe anymore. The pretzels looked like a fun adventure for the boys. Take care of yourself and your beautiful family.

[@MeganFoxUnlocked]

Yeah we like their cheap supper too. But ours is always so slammed that it's not worth the 45 minute wait.

[@coffeenchaos6353]

How do you make your toffee iced latte? If you don’t mind me asking? Lol it sounds soOo good! 😊

[@karengear5254]

Oh Megan 55 is not old but I did not think it was an unkind comment ❤❤❤❤

[@cowtownjanet4450]

My goodness Megan, you could never live in a big city. Enjoy your markets and fruit stands because us big city girls would love more of that. Although I will say Costco carries more quality than Sam’s. Keep on with your adventures and romantic dreams❣️

[@shirlrebert4469]

We live near the Revonah pretzel bakery it's a little building in an ally that make great hard and soft pretzels by hand .

[@327lwalton]

Were those egg waffles you made? Will you share the recipe you used?

[@casseehorn3120]

Thank you for another wonderful video!
