Even though I’m 65, I thoroughly enjoy your channel and positive approach to life, homemaking, child rearing etc. I remember those overwhelming times trying to do it all, working part time shift work, cooking real food, kids homework and activities plus aging parents. Some days I feel guilty about not doing a better job but you do your best at the time. My three sons are now grown and hopefully understand I did my best❤️Keep up the good work, you are doing just fine! You and Lynette Yoder are AWESOME.

[@cowtownjanet4450]

I’m 73 and I too love Megan’s videos…if some things are not age appropriate I basque in the memories much of her content brings back.

[@donnagatsoulis5125]

I'm 69 & just love Meghan & Lynnette's videos! They both are breaths of fresh air in this increasingly crazy world.

I'm sure your son's are thankful for how you raised them. It's impossible to be a perfect parent.

Oh, my word! Little Miller walking already! So precious!! I loved seeing that sweet glimpse into that at the end, and all of the yummy food you made! God bless you and your sweet family.:)

[@jessicaadams7622]

Megan- I've never commented on a youtube video before, but I just want to say I enjoy yours so much. I'm a busy momma of 6 littles but I watch your videos when I'm washing my face at night or getting ready early in the morning when the house is quiet. You are so positive, upbeat and inspiring! Keep it up- you're amazing 👏

[@jackimanley3056]

I watch while doing laundry!

My favorite part was when you were walking with the kids and Miller looked up at you OMG so precious love it oh and then him taking his steps. Thanks for sharing. Be blessed.

I love that you encourage rest. The world tells us to go, go, go. My view changed when I read something that said that rest is Godly. God rested. Rest is essential for our bodies, minds, and spirit to be rejuvenated and ready to go again. It’s so, so hard and definitely a work in progress.

[@jesuslittlekid9569]

Hey dear Megan, thanks for reminding us how awesome motherhood and homemaking is with all its hardwork and it’s muddy moments every here and there. Thanks in Christ dear Megan ❤️

[@Oldebookworm]

That is a butternut squash. I grow my own every year and prep it similarly. I use it in place of pumpkin in recipes calling for pumpkin.

[@dalenewilkinson934]

Megan, I love your channel. When I do any kind of squash/pumpkins in the oven, I leave it completely whole, I don't cut out the seeds at all, but I do pierce it with a knife. Just put it on a cookie sheet, don't peel it. Bake with no water on the cookie sheet for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, let cool, cut in half and take out the seeds. Then scoop out the flesh from the peel. So easy and so fast. I usually do several at a time and then after scooping, add butter and then freeze. You can also add some milk when doing the dryer squash like butter cup or hubbard if you need to. It is nice to have it setting on top of the stove waiting for me to get a few minutes time to take care of it.

[@juliejohnson8626]

All you kids are cute but really enjoyed Miller trying to walk, so precious hearing Evonnie laugh!

I loved seeing your beach pictures. We've been going to that same beach just about every year for the last 30 years, but this year we were unable to make it, so it was wonderful to see our 'home away from home'

[@gemstones7171]

Love your videos! Wouldn’t it be a really cute idea to have an apron with a printed Fox Sparrow design on it when you cooked😊 We would probably all want one too!

[@sarahfarrell8214]

Hi Megan, I love the cart! Such a great idea! The pumpkin bread with the glaze looks so delicious!! Thank you for another great motivating video! Love ya! Congratulations on Miller walking, I'm so happy it was captured on camera!

[@tiffanyroberts5993]

Hey girl!! To make the wine glasses hang from your bar cart you actually want to turn them upside down and hang them from the base / foot of the glass. I hope that helps!

[@amykolstee5212]

You mentioned Miller is 11 months now, wow, where does time go?! It seems like you just had him! That first year goes way too fast! Great video! :)

[@Dana-mb1hd]

Megan perfect timing!!!! i just got my toddler down for a nap and now i can watch your video!!! i can always count on you to encourage and inspire me thank you!💖🙏

[@MeganFoxUnlocked]

So glad you're here! Thanks for saying hi!

[@robynw6307]

11 months old and trying to walk. That's great. My girls were both 13 months old before they even considered trying to walk. Such a happy and amazing family.

[@bethanyhutchinson6714]

So glad I stayed to the end to see Miller walking! 😍

[@jeanieherman10]

I love watching your videos! You make me feel less weird (not sure that's the right word, but we'll go with it) in a lot of ways. I've struggled for years to find my "tribe". I love being a stay at home mom/homemaker, cooking/baking from scratch, painting, sewing, crafting, food preservation, etc...... I told my husband that I would probably feel right at home in the Mennonite community cause it just seems like my natural bend. Unfortunately, we live in Florida and I don't think that's a thing here.

[@stacystacy6087]

Sarasota Florida! Look up the Minecraft community.

[@susanhouse7443]

10X speaks to 😢the fineness of the grind when processing the sugar for sale. There are coarse grind sugars all the way up to superfine sugars. (News you can’t use…lol) I grew up in York County (I’m 65) and would make trips to Lancaster County monthly for the food and quilt/fabric shops. I moved to Wyoming 23 years ago and I still miss the food, quilt shops and the seasons. Shady Maple, Good’s Store, Fisher’s Fabric shop, Zook’s in Intercourse, Achenbach’s Bakery (their custard filled donuts…heaven!). I love your channel, Megan, as I always get the warm fuzzies as you share the sights and things that remind me of my old home. Keep on doing what you’re doing, you are a blessing to us all! ❤️❤️❤️

[@christinawarner8653]

Would you be able to make more videos tips for productive housewives? Those have been so inspiring and encouraging in this season of working from home part time while I have a 2 year old and 4 month old. I've watched your other videos in that series multiple times and love them!!

[@brn2wryt]

When I saw that you were making frosting to put on the pumpkin bread, I thought how good that buttermilk syrup from the German Pancake recipe would be poured over it.

[@Yesica1993]

The little cart looks very cute. And, aaaawww, I love seeing daddies playing with their kids!

[@karinb.4225]

Es ist immer wieder eine Freude, ihre Videos anzusehen. Danke dafür.🌸

Pumpkin Bread, excellent recipe!! Cannot send the photo but it turned out of this world.

[@reneedoddrell2158]

Yay Millar!!! I find it quite funny that Americans only have pumpkin in fall and sweet as well, we have it year round and just have it plain or with spices but savoury for sure. Thanks for your chat today i really needed to hear how to rest again in a different way. Love your channel. God bless

[@cristinachira]

You are the best vloger for me. My favorite 😍 Entertaining and yet I learn something new from you that might not be easy to apply. Your love for your family and life in itself is contagious. And I could go on...but I ll leave some more positives for next time to keep you grounded:)

[@wandagordon6453]

Always love seeing the scenery of Lancaster County 🥰. My girls are grown and I’m no longer working outside the home. I’m a Pastor’s wife and school transportation for 3 of our grandkids, so things do get busy. It is important for us to take some time for ourselves to rest as we serve our family and others. Love seeing you and your precious family! God bless y’all! 😀❤️

[@thehomeschoolinghomemaker7403]

Butternut squash! The Italians love it. And last time I checked, Costco had an amazing raviola stuffed with it. Very tender dough, and great with nothing but pesto on it. You could make your own with vareniki dough.

Yes!!! you have to have some time to yourself and turn that music up! In the fall I stay at the doctor's office and to be honest the last month and a half has been so stressful. I love to sing so that's my fun time! So glad to hear another mother say it! Love your videos and so look forward to them every week!!!!

Wow. Trying to walk already! So precious. Love the cart. The bread looked amazing. TFS ❤️

[@madit3135]

I always enjoy your videos; Miller looked like he enjoyed falling on Josh more than taking the steps lol The tea cart is lovely! I get the too small dining room. We ended up putting our large table in what was the living room. Consequently, we have a small formal front room and everyone hangs out around the dining room table the whole time. For now, it works out!

[@eversosophi9653]

so much good advise and I'm old enough to be your mom 💕

[@jeannieplett878]

I just made 2 pumpkin loaves a few days ago and we like to eat it with whipped maple butter or cinnamon butter.

Thanks for sharing, 😊 Millit is walking how sweet. Love the town of Lancaster it brings so many great memories of when I lived in pa and visited Lancaster so many times. Lovely town.

[@denisearonow4921]

One day, after years of struggling to cut raw winter squash (with very good, sharp knives) I decided to bake the squash whole, cut and remove the seeds and flesh afterward. I'll never go back, It's so much easier, the flesh is already pureed (more or less, you can always make it smoother).,

Thank you for memories of Falls of my past. Outside of Lancaster County, it is not possible to buy long neck pumpkins. I have to send back to Morgantown or Churchtown and buy them and plant them here in Arkansas.
