I have a 22 month old and a 2 month old and videos like this (showing the beauty and joy in everyday life) really encourage me. Thank you.

[@simplylovedwell]

That prayer time with your boys before the meal (so precious). Mine is 16 months and she's the one that reminds us to pray. She'll close her eyes and put her hands together and wait.

[@joycarlson2298]

I love your videos so much! I am pregnant with my first and about to be in the throws of motherhood. Your videos have been so helpful to me to see how you nurture yourself and your children in a God centered way. Thank you for being real and for taking the time to do this.

[@margaretmatheny]

Ah I'm so glad. That just made me smile so big, it's the exact reason I came to KZbin. To just show people that motherhood can and is such a blessing. Obviously it has hard moments...I had a tough day...but God didn't promise us perfection and for everything to go our way. Excited for you!! Thanks for being here.

[@ashleyyoder8521]

Real talk... I look forward to your videos because it brings so much joy to my life. I am a full time working mom that feels the most peace when I slow down with my kids, and I am reminded of that that simple joy when I watch yours. Thank you be being authentic, genuine and inspiring -- I know it means so much to the moms who watch. Love from another mother

[@margaretmatheny]

I have chills. These words are so so encouraging and humbling. I'm so glad it brought you peace. Sending love right back!! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@livinginthemoment8]

Yazzz! New video from Margaret! :) Your kids are adorable! You're a good influence in my life; bought organic Olivia products and beauty counter. LOL I just had a healthy breakfast while watching your video. :)

[@margaretmatheny]

Wahoo! haha, thanks for the love and support!! Ah I'm so happy to hear all of this! I hope you're loving it all!

[@Scrapfan]

Riker is a very smart little boy. He wrote the “A” just like you did...upside down. The scenery is so beautiful there! I see that Gunner will be a great lowball hitter one day❤️ It melted my heart when everyone was praying before eating. This was a wonderful vlog 🌼

[@margaretmatheny]

Thank so much! Yes, I said the same thing when he wrote the A upside down. like of course he would! Ha! Thanks for the kind words!

[@britneejohnson3173]

Oh I smiled so hard when they were all playing with mom before bath time ❤️

[@katherineherbison8494]

Love your real life videos!! When I'm a mom, I so want to have the mindset you have about the simple things in life!

[@simply_abby]

You are the type of mother I aspire to be some day! 💛 thank you for sharing the real parts of motherhood in such a genuine way.

[@margaretmatheny]

Ah, tears. Wow, thank you! I'd feel like a fraud if I posted any other kind of content. Thanks so much Abby.

[@JenniferObe]

You are creating such a beautiful home for your family 🧡 I love that you’re tackling homeschooling! I used to always say I wasn’t cut out to be a homeschooling mom, but these days and in these times, I’m starting to reconsider if I could actually do it… You are such an inspiration, I can see Gods grace just shining through you :)

[@amelia944]

Such a great video. I’ll be homeschooling my little one in the future. I love the book, the call of the wild and free, it’s a great resource:) your boys are lucky to have you.

[@thechronicillnesstherapist143]

I love that he drew the A upside down 💙 he was modeling your hand movement instead of copying what was on the paper 🥰

[@christinathorsen4274]

Loved this! Real, simple & beautifully calming ❤🙌

[@coopdog3378]

Great truthful, concise, and entertaining content! miss you and the boys.

[@margaretmatheny]

Ah thanks uncle coops

[@jeanboden8198]

Love the realness of this video! Very encouraging.

[@margaretmatheny]

Thank you!! Your words are encouraging!

[@katie3700]

Glad to see you back! Would love to know where you got your watch! I'm wanting to get away from wearing my iWatch and back to a classic one!

[@margaretmatheny]

Oh thank you so much!! It was actually something I bought with a gift card 5 years ago. It's from coach. Maybe $270 and I purchased it for $65 😍

[@michelleduckett22]

Loved this video. Ryker and Gunner are THE cutest ever. ❤

[@margaretmatheny]

Thank you!! I have to agree with you on that haha.

[@nikkilee143]

"It's just beautiful, I haven't stopped smiling.. just beautiful" ............... "Mom I have to go poop" LOL if that isn't life

[@margaretmatheny]

hahahaha. Yup. Happy to make you smile. Thanks for sharing!

[@bridgettemiller4628]

I always love your videos.

[@margaretmatheny]

Thank you

[@haleyjbelieves770]

Your bedding looks so cozy, where’s it from?

[@margaretmatheny]

Thanks! It's a weighted blanket actually! My hubby bought if for me for Christmas, so I'm not sure where it's from. I. bet if you researched the size of your bed + weight blanket you'd find something like it!

[@katelyndurfee649]

I love this video, Margaret :)

[@margaretmatheny]

Ah Katelyn! Thank you 🥺🧡

[@_KendraChristine]

Loved this!!

[@margaretmatheny]

Ah, thank so much!!

[@huttone1]

Believe it or not you've always been a homeschool mom and I've noticed that you already seem to favor the Classical method. It might be worth looking into the basics of Classical homeschooling. I think it would fit your lifestyle and philosophy well. And there are good resources for Classical Christian homeschoolers. It works very naturally with the children's strengths of memory and repetition at younger ages and leads toward strong, logical thinkers with strong communication skills. 😊

[@margaretmatheny]

This is so beautiful. I've never seen it this way! I absolutely will look into The basics of Classical homeschooling. Seems right up my alley. Thank you so so much!

[@Emily-es6zo]

I spy diffuser necklaces, what are the other ones on the boys?💓

[@margaretmatheny]

Oh you're good! They've got orgone necklaces and amber necklaces

[@marneangel7]

Aww the way you mother is beautiful...wish we could have kid play dates together!

[@margaretmatheny]

Oh thank you! Obviously, I have rough days, as to my kids but we really try to focus on enjoying the simple things!!
