We always love seeing Matt but you should end it when you want to end it! If you’re drained and don’t wanna film, it’s your life girlfriend!!! We’re still watching either way 😂❤

[@MeganAcuna]

Thank you so much! 💛

[@sarahkrauss3329]

I fully agree with this! Also I’m here for long form boring content :) it’s relatable and it’s my fav!

[@RowanMorrissy]

I love these “boring” home vlogs! I also think it totally makes sense that you end it when Matt gets home so you can spend quality time with your fam 💗

[@larisas6803]

I love a “boring” vlog. Makes it so relatable and refreshing seeing that! 🤍

[@aliciacatel]

I dont know why your self conscious about normal vlogs! This was so zen, so much fun to watch. I love these so much! Thanks!!

[@kaylagaria7749]

I’m sorry to hear about your seedlings! It is always sad when you invest your money & things just don’t grow. I have learned that sifting my potting mix before I start seeds really helps the plant babies get a stronger start because they aren’t trying to grow their roots around big chunks of wood/rocks in the soil. Also, if you didn’t already do this, pre-moistening the soil before sowing seeds really helps increase germination rates 🌱

[@briarpeterson6938]

Hey, I just have to say that I love, love your channel. Honestly most days I just play through your older videos because your content is so comforting, for some reason. It feels weird typed out, but I think I just feel really seen and relate a lot to how you appear to live your life and spend time with your kids. I'm a working mom 29 days away from having baby #3, and I completely understand your struggles of trying to work while being home with your kids. My 17 month old just started her first week of full-time daycare this week because trying to rely on other people to come over and watch her while I tried to get all my work done was just becoming too stressful (my mom likes to vacation a lot too lol) and working from 6 - 11pm every night after everyone else is in bed was taking a huge toll on me mentally. (Though I am so so lucky to have the job that I do that has such amazing flexibility and the greatest boss in the world.) I hate dropping her off at daycare every day, and just cried for like 15 min once I got back home this morning, but once this little dude is born in less than a month we are going to all have 3 months 100% together while I'm on maternity leave. Idk why I'm spilling this all here, but just know that you have such a positive impact on at least my life and mental health, probably many others too, and I really appreciate the fact that you're willing to share your life and your thoughts on the internet lol. Hope you are having a great day! I LOVE the gardening content!! I can't wait for the snow to melt here in Northern Wisconsin so I can start my garden too :D

[@MeganAcuna]

You are too sweet and it’s not weird at all! Thank you so much for your kind words and congratulations on baby #3!!! I’m happy that I can be a source of comfort to you. That means so much to me. 💛

[@carolcorn]

Way to go Matt! That was so sweet!

[@MeganAcuna]

He’s the best 💛

[@bethanysummers3377]

U would have to be my fav youtube vlogger. I came across you with your birth videos of Rowan a few yrs ago. I like watching what u do in a normal day and totally understand that u want to end it when Matt gets home. I am in my 40s with a tween and teen boy and girl and I miss those crazy toddler days, brings back memories. I love seeing when u are out and about and what it's like where u live, op shopping, crafty stuff and home decorating, its the kind of things I do to too. I like to have pretty things around me in my home and do projects and gardening. Raising monarch butterflies is my latest little hobby🦋

[@melphillips8121]

I always love seeing you and Matt because you are both absolutely darling! But so what is best for you ! I have no doubt how much all of us love you no matter what ! 😊💗

[@autumnthurman]

I just love your channel! I saw someone else comment that they watch your old videos a lot because you’re their comfort creator, and I do the same thing! You inspire me to pick up more hobbies, try new things, etc. Also-go Matt, awesome husband! ❤

[@ashleyn7595]

As much as I love your vlogs, enjoy your afternoon with your family! Maybe doing a night routine can help so you dont have to constantly film in the afternoon but you get to share that content somewhat!

[@Christina-xc7on]

I was going to suggest this too! Would definitely like seeing the night routine with two toddlers but the "work day" is over when Matt comes home so it feels like a natural place to end the vlog!

[@MeganAcuna]

Filming a night routine gets extra chaotic, but maybe that’s what everyone wants to see!

[@dianamedley3456]

For sure end the vlogs early evening…. All parents know like 4-7 is crazy town anyways lol. Love them, do what works best for you all! And my first kid was a covid baby too (she was 4 months old when it started) and it makes my heart so happy to see her progression making friends at preschool and saying hi to everyone (dogs and humans lol) on our walks etc.

[@MeganAcuna]

Aw good for her! Rowan actually had a play date the other day. He’s come so far! 💛

[@nicolemoreland6257]

To me, day is morning + day. Evening is evening. I literally never even thought about it. Lol. Keep doing what you want to do and what refills your cup. I'll keep watching. ❤️

[@BethanyHelliwellSmith]

Call it day in the life and share exactly what you want to share xx

[@jennifersondej5551]

Your family comes first and spend family time together.❤❤❤❤

[@georgiaphilips6606]

Absolutely love these kinds of vlogs 😊 And it’s amazing watching your writing journey. I’ve struggled getting back into reading after having my daughter and I’m working on it. I’ve also always wanted to write a novel! I have been working on an idea for years but have just never been able to start. I’m worried it’ll just be an abandoned project amongst my millions of hobbies I don’t get time for nowadays! So watching you do it is inspiring. Thanks for sharing your daily life!

[@EclipsedWillow]

I'd love love love to beta read your book ❤️ It sounds like such an interesting story!

[@MeganAcuna]

Thank you I’ll let you know if I need more!

[@mori.kurogawa7936]

I love nigella, they look like fairy flowers. If I had a garden, i d want lilac, roses and nigella in it. And a pumpkin patch 🧡

[@MeganAcuna]

Sounds dreamy! 😍

[@cleansetsandbaguettes5236]

omg the "I moticed...." comment to juniper outside! i just learned about this phrase!

[@patriciathomazo8946]

ohhh your expensive seedlings... 😢 please try again, it is still early in the season. Maybe bring them inside where it's warmer and use seedings ground? I found some cosmos' apricotta ' this year and I'm super excited about growing them! and yes I'm still very envious of your beautiful glasshouse!

[@canditamcdonald9880]

I love all your vlogs ❤ my 3 year old enjoys watching them with me.

[@akhilavenkatesh9816]

Inspiring and not boring at all ❤

[@monicamacauley3750]

I’ve never had good luck with dahlia seeds. Great luck with dahlia tubers. Swan Island Dahlias in Oregon has the best selection with great viability. Check them out.

[@Housewifeforhim]

Cleaning my disaster of a house while watching this! :)

[@MeganAcuna]

Good luck you can do it! 💛

[@stephaniemarcino4886]

I used the same seed starting mix it did really well for all my veg but not so much my flowers. My flower seeds were taken from my garden last year so I could have done something wrong when drying them out 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@samanthasingh6896]

I have a moissanite wedding ring set too! Love it, and get so many compliments on it. 💍

[@hollydarby272]

Your book sounds amazing!

[@iNalaKoala]

I love these boring vlogs! I love seeing your day-to-day, uncurated life. Juniper is getting so big and so good at using those words! My daughter turns 16mos in a few days and it's been really cool to watch Juniper grow since she is just a few months ahead - it's like a little sneak peek of my near-distant future :P P.S. You should google "Calendula pronunciation" - I think you will get a little giggle lol. I've been watching your videos for a while and every time you say that word I can't help but smile, because, well, why ISN'T it pronounced that way?! XD

[@ashraecha18]

i’m a bookworm and would love to read your work! 💛💛

[@shazza47]

Its your vlog you end it when you want x 😊 😊

[@Kendall--]

Megan! I love you and your content so much! Please tell me where your outfit is from in the intro at 9.22 timestamp, I love it and looks so comfortable! Ps- I would loveeeee to read your book if you did ever publish that because im sure it's amazing!!! ❤ the teaser sounded great!!! ❤ and any way you decide to vlog we will love it!

[@amikhanderia58]

Hey! Lovely vlog :) just want to ask what have you used to hang Juniper's hairclips/bows? Xx

[@MegaNerdRuns]

I got the same floret seeds (dahlias and zinnias) and I had 9-10 out of 12 germinated. I used a similar seed starting mix, and misted daily. Kept them on a heat mat and indoors under an LED light (nothing special) under the greenhouse dome thingie until they sprouted, then took the cover off but left on the heat mat. I think they need warmer temps to get germinated. Could you try putting them on a heat mat? Are they too late to be saved? So frustrating to feel like they are wasted, I hope you can salvage some of them!

[@Rachel12867]

What a bummer that your floret seeds didn’t germinate! Every single one of my dahlia’s did. I don’t know what it could be! I used Espoma seed starting mix. Maybe since you said that the zinnia’s germinated then disappeared your seed starting mix could be contaminated with fungus that caused the seedlings to dampen off. Either that or I know that could happen with unclean seed starting trays. Regardless though I’m sure your garden will be beautiful this year. I agree though those seeds are wayyy too expensive. It’s not really realistic to continually repurchase… especially when most seeds are like a few bucks a pack!

[@tiffanyzenner1465]

Where is your brown ribbed lounge set from?! The one you’re wearing😍

[@_xoxoLaura]

Where did you get the wooden kid rocking chair?? So cute!

[@MeganAcuna]

I thrifted it!

[@kellydavis97]

Where is your dress from that you were wearing while talking about kiwico?

[@PiousPallasAthene]

So honestly I have a soul seat (one of the various brands for similar seats - only one level though and still very expensive). I hardly use it. Also have ADHD and it helps but only *sometimes*. You might have a different experience but I almost never use it because it doesn't have the back support I often need. It does help with my weird gremlin seating positions though when the mood strikes!

[@PiousPallasAthene]

But that said it also doesn't get used because of the ADHD because it's not in the same room as my work computer so... That might honestly be the bigger issue. I should move it.

[@MeganAcuna]

That helps! Thanks for the feedback!

[@charityasquith1982]

Can you try peat pellets?

[@kristinliesch5166]

I bought some really cheap seedling starter trays off amazon and they came with grow lights. I put them inside my home, not in my greenhouse, and 100% of everything I’ve planted has sprouted. I used normal seedling starter soil as well and nothing else. I misted them with a water bottle every night and left the grow lights on overnight. Could try that 🫶

[@elisarudgers8039]

Are you going to film the wedding

[@jenniferfarrell293]

The reason you sit in funny positions in your office chair is office chairs were not designed for women. Maybe try a foot rest and see if that makes a difference.
