homeowner diaries: domestic labor, my TTPD thoughts, decorating, yardwork + home updates

[@driverjayne]

Hey just so you know most figs commonly grown in the US don't need wasps to pollinate them, so if your tree is dropping it's fruit it's probably either that it needs to be pruned or needs to be fertilized.

As a fellow chronically ill girly who is it home all the time and has a husband that works Monday to Friday, I totally get it. I always put so much pressure on myself to do everything because I’m at home so I feel like I should (definitely internalised misogyny that I need to work on), like you, I wouldn’t expect the same of anyone else. We need to be kinder to ourselves!

I feel this comment in my soul.

Hey Meghan, I was just checking your Twitter after a couple of years of not watching you (which I’m so sad bcz I always loved you growing up and will defo return to watching you) - a bit unrelated to the video but I wanted to say thank you for being vocal & using your voice on the situation in Gaza.

I love your homeowner diaries videos. I miss having my own homeowner projects (currently renting), and I'm so enjoying seeing you make the space your own! Re: Cabinet doors. I think the little friction catches on that style of cabinet door can loosen up over time. You might be able to bend the existing catch arms together more to tighten them or just replace them with something stronger (maybe roller or magnetic catches) to hold the doors closed. They can be pretty cheap, and certainly less work than refinishing the cabinets. To help reduce binding on the hinge side from paint buildup, you could also try using a few playing cards stacked as a shim beneath the hinge plate that attaches to the door to make the door sit more proud of the opening. Those semi-concealed partial inset hinges can be tricky to match when shopping for replacements online. I ended up stripping and repainting mine. Best of luck!

the yard is definitely coming together. YOu and Mats have done a lot of hard work.

Meghan, I've had the same exact sinus symptoms for the last 8 months and I was convinced I just developed new allergies because I work with animals on a daily basis. I tested negative for all allergies and finally went to an ENT and found out it was my adenoids (similar to tonsils) that needed to be removed! Wishing you luck with your health journey. Also I've been watching you for nearly a decade which is crazy!

There’s Shane Cos up in Washington too. Same slogan and everything except the city locations are different of course.

Hearing Trish and Oscar’s laugh❤

I don’t know how to put in in words but somehow your videos enter in my comfort safe zone. I don’t watch them regularly but I often think about the colorado vlog. Yesterday I randomly thought about you. I’m probably at one of the saddest moments in my life. I lost my two baby dogs in less than a year, 13 and 9 y/o I’m broken. I feel soulless. I know that so many can’t even fathom the idea of someone loving that much “just” a dog… in reality I like dogs better than humans. Sorry for my rumble. If somehow you are reading this and have a furry friend hug him/her, hold them tight, let them know how much you love them.

Dropping fruit is usually a nutrient or water issue, too much or too little. A common mistake when fertilising and watering is only doing so closest to the trunk of the tree. As a rule if thumb, the root system is as wide as the widest part of the tree's crown so you should water and fertilise as far out as the longest branches. The clay may have effected the tree aswell.

[@AnnaIPlayPretend]

Wait shane co is in my hometown!!

[@jenniferw1595]

I need the “human adjacent” t-shirt 😍

[@talyahrachel]

meghan i have been watching your videos for like over a decade and i love all the evolutions of your life. your videos are my cozy comfort vlogs!!! btw would love a makeup tutorial or favorites and maybe some fave podcasts you would recommend!!! xoxoxoxo

[@Nonamebabe95]

My ADHD is on one today so i'm going have to rewatch the beginning so you could've totally said what you're doing to your cabinets. I am so sorry if you did. The bathroom cabinets would look STUNNING in a wood stain. I love seeing progress on your gorgeous home!

[@Nonamebabe95]

I HATE that people paint over the hardware! It's so frustrating because as you know it gets stuck and annoys you. When we were renovating my house which is around the same age as yours, we found out that they painted all the windows shut and a couple of doors were painted shut to bedrooms. I don't understand the motive to waste paint to do that lol.

[@gabriellethomas3875]

love that you also listen to BNCMAP!

[@lukephillips1188]

Omg listening to Las Culturistas while planting the lavender was everything!!! 😂😎💜💜💜💜💜

[@AlliesBeautyTips]

your makeup always looks stunning!!

[@MsJordyn94]

Never stop making these vlogs 🥰

[@shannonsneed9716]

I felt like I was listening to myself when you were talking about your sinus infections😂 I didn’t go to an ENT I went to an allergist cause I thought it was my cats (it was) but I actually needed the pneumococcal pneumonia vaccine booster. My immune system was at 21% lol so my body really suffering. We get the vaccine as baby and some people end up needing a booster later in life and have no clue until a doctor finally notices it. That’s what happened to me so maybe try that! ❤️

[@christiendelmar4135]

I love watching the journey of you becoming and actual functioning adult😂

[@redbullrocker333]

OK, but how do I get the shane co shirt?! Likeeee that’s my store. All my jewelry is from there

[@MyaBritton]

How are you able to walk around and do yard work with your POTS? I stand for 10 mins and have to sit 😅

[@MeghanRienks]

i rarely walk or stand for more than a minute or so, and truthfully I pushed way too hard this week, I almost passed out like 10 times. i was presyncope for days lol

[@elizabethh775]

Her listening to just Trish podcast 😂

[@JennV-B]

I feel the same about TTPD. I haven’t had time to listen to the album over and over yet so we’ll see but usually I’m obsessed with the album by now. I find this one a little repetitive and just not the vibes I want right now. I feel like I’m betraying my queen rn 😂

[@itsgivingbougie]

Love you queen

[@caitrnb7953]

What podcasts are you listening to lately? Always so curious!

[@MeghanRienks]

brooke & connor make a podcast, trixie & katya, chicks in the office & obsessed are prob the ones I stay on top of weekly! but i deff prefer long form content like podcasts - so I legit listen to whatever podcasts (video version) are suggested to me on youtube that day haha

[@UwamukuzaClaire]

XD

[@ReemHHH-g7u]

[@FA-dv5he]

You need chainsaw chaps. They stop you from accidentally hurting yourself.

[@RheannonGarcia]

After hearing your whole rant on this video, I’m pretty sure we’re related somehow

[@imanebahnane6568]

❤❤❤

[@Nicreb]

Love podcasts but hearing them while watching your video was slightly annoying I can’t find another word for the feeling & I’m not trying to be mean I’m just being honest but I am aware this probably sounds rude so I’m sorry if it does!!! ❤
