[@kcotjo]

Megan can you bottle up your energy and pass it along to me!! For having a newborn and 3 other children you sure do accomplish a lot in a day!! Reorganizing and cleaning out cupboards and closets is a daunting job but once it's done, it feels so good!! I do love your kitchen and your home!! Can't wait to see your outdoor table and patio. Josh is so talented and such a hard worker as are you!! God bless your family. It is such a joy to see your children!!

[@MeganFoxUnlocked]

I do have energy when I get my sleep. But I don't have any to spare, sorry!

[@cathyoneill9011]

Josh is the BEST! A godly, hardworking father who sets a solid example for his children. 😊

[@lisagrimes2018]

I reorganized my pantry as a Mother’s Day gift to myself!

[@sallycroft2191]

You and Josh are such hard workers and a wonderful example of spouses and parents. What you both accomplish amazes me. Spring seems to be a very busy, with so much to do both inside and out. Please remember we can't do everything perfectly. Choose the best and take heart that is enough. ❤

[@UmmAbdullah-gl1nn]

Could you please make a video on how you manage your home and family and business? Basically how you do it all 😂 I am struggling big time with motherhood. Everything seems hard and too much and i struggle with getting motivated with everything. A video on your tips/what you think is important would be great! Love your energy 😊

Some months ago, I ordered the Blueland starter set (based on your recommendation) along with the toilet bowl cleaner (for 2 bathrooms) as well as face wash (which is fantastic). I live alone so I especially like that they let me pause or postpone when I need the refill tablets because I just don't go through it that fast. When I received the products (which was really speedy, btw), I waited a couple of weeks before I cleared out all my other cleaners because, honestly, I just didn't know how well they would work. Two weeks later, I got rid of all but a couple of specialty cleaners (like for stainless steel, etc.) and passed them on to my grown kids and my friends. It is so nice to have only those 3 bottles to reach for when I'm cleaning (I have my cleaning supplies in a rolling cart)! Plus, it's the work of but a few minutes to just go around and spray my bathrooms and kitchen countertops with the multipurpose spray and give them a quick wipe as I allow the bathroom cleaner spray to sit in the sinks before they're wiped out. Everything is fresh and clean in literally 15 minutes. The product smells wonderful, not overpowering at all, especially the toilet bowl tablets. I guess this is this former housecleaner's (and a bit of a clean freak) endorsement. Totally worth discarding (full bottles of) cleaning stuff!

[@thesarabrown]

Fletcher and his wheelbarrow! I love it!

[@hannahthehomesteader]

This is perfect timing as I an decluttering EVERYTHING. Also, thanks for addressing the closet of the perpetually pregnant person. I have been pregnant more months than not pregnant in the past 6 years and I do have to keep all the sizes or else I would need to buy a new wardrobe multiple times a year! People rarely address that. However, I will still look through and remove the ones I just don't love or that I didn't wear the last time I was in that size. The rest goes into clothing storage bins.

[@bobbiefarrar3036]

Megan, I use the Dana K White cleaning/decluttering method. You will never have a mess that needs to be cleaned up quickly because something comes up in the middle of the project. Enjoy you and your sweet family. God bless you and yours.

[@kevinjuliamartin6718]

I was going to say the same thing! It's a perfect plan for when you have littles that keep interrupting!

Your vlogs truly make me smile. I am going through some trials and tribulations in life and your vlogs help me keep my faith. Keep it up the good work!!

[@susancunningham5847]

Awesome video. One of my routines is to clean out my pantry at the end of October and put any food expired or almost expired on the counter. I then menu plan based on these foods until Thanksgiving. It keeps the grocery bill low during the holidays and prevents wasting food

[@QuiteQuietASMR]

You’ve made so many positive comments about your disco ball since you put it up. I can see that it DEFINITELY brings you joy! ❤

In raised beds you can put wood in the bottom first to take up some space , then add the dirt. God Bless.

[@WBCRO]

Hi Megan! Hello from Canada! Wonderful video. 😍 Your yard looks so green - the trees sound my house just began to “leaf out” this week. Your colour-blocked denim skirt prompted this comment: Longer straight skirts with front slits can be modified slightly so they’re both modest and walkable. Machine stitch the front slit and then make a kick pleat from a matching or contrasting fabric to insert into the center back of the skirt. Open up the back center seam and use the old seam line as your guide for sewing in the kick pleat. Make it long enough to reach the knee area for walking room. I’ve done this to multiple skirts for both myself and my two daughters. It’s a pretty quick project once you get the hang of it. I’ve even taken ankle length straight skirts with high slits, cut them to a few inches below the knee and used the leftover fabric to make the kick pleat. Maybe this can help someone somehow!

[@melaniesnyder9165]

Can you move all your baking items under the island where you bake? A few years back I moved all my baking stuff into the cabinet under the counter I bake at and it has been amazing!!! I only have yo move if I want to grab eggs, butter, or milk. Everything else including measuring cups and spoons are in the baking space. My mixing bowls and most used cookbook is there too. Maybe that empty cabinet can hold anything that is in the island cupboard now?

[@susannagiesey9657]

I cleaned my dining room. It took me two days. I dusted and decluttered a bunch of things that didn't belong in the room. I decorated for spring/summer and bought a new indoor fern houseplant. It's so satisfying to do spring cleaning!!

[@trelainamobley6254]

Thank you, Megan for your positive attitude. It is very inspiring and encouraging! 🥰

[@kristaleisure7978]

Wow- you are super mom- getting everything done with 4 small children! So inspiring! Love your gardens. I used to have bad luck with dill also (I always bought dill plants from the greenhouse.) I took an herb class at our local extension office recently, and they recommended sowing your dill seeds rather than buying plants- something about dill doesn't transplant well because of its tap root) I'm going to try it- we will see! Can't wait to see your garden flourish this summer, and maybe even see how you use your home grown veggies and herbs!

[@smikette1]

oh my! miller planting seeds was just adorable. that striped dress you wore to the green house is so cheery and fresh.

[@elzbethmrgn]

I love that you are refreshingly honest about the part of KZbin where you do get items for free/for work, and sometimes you don't actually use all the stuff you get. It happens all the time in other jobs and you never see it because those jobs dont get filmed 🤷

[@janetta5827]

Megan, this was probably my most favorite video of yours I have watched, and I've been a subscriber for about 4 or 5 years. It showed the real life of having a young, growing family and the exhaustion that can sometimes accompany that time of life. It also showed so many things that you don't often show, which was great. Being a grandma myself, I kept thinking how happy seeing Fletcher with his new wheelbarrow and equipment was going to be making his Grandma Fletcher. I loved it. Tell Grandma thank you for me as my grandsons will be getting one now. Such a sweet, loving yet real video, thank you. I always enjoy hanging out with you younger ladies. Yes, us older ladies can learn from you younger ones just as y'all learn from us, we hope. Have a blessed weekend. 😊

[@karenbrunton6529]

You can fill the bottom of your planter with rocks, sticks, broken pavers, etc. to spend less on soil.

Life with littles! Gotta love it!

[@sandybayes2252]

Exactly 👍 so realistic. Love the look of chaos and children lol 😆. Trying to get things organized. I am currently watching my granddaughter who is 10 weeks three days a week. I drive an hour each way each day. She has three brothers who are in school all day but will be getting out in about eight more days. It’s going to be a busy summer. The baby sleeps two and three hours during the day and I really don’t have to do anything. My daughter does expect me too, but I do try to help out. It’s like a ministry to me. A single mother raising four children is no joke I don’t recommend it. I’m not glorifying it in anyway. So that’s what I’m doing since you asked. My friends think I’m crazy but like I said, I feel like it’s a ministry and I love the special time with my granddaughter we wear each other out lol

Your Arizona tee with the tan ruffle skirt is one of my favorite outfits of yours! I want to get my own, and don't feel like a failure because you struggle to get a whole project done in one day! Go with the flow, the family can have a dinner picnic on the floor if the tables full! With 1 toddler I have those days too lol. And MEGAN, last video you were talking about getting too old for KZbin, too old for certain activities etc, you are a GIRL. You seriously age yourself!!! Like you are young & blooming as ever to us, I believe you overthink it yet. Like I'd think you'll get around to worrying about those things at 50! You could intermittent fasting (I do 16 hrs daily) whenever you do try to lose the baby weight, though I don't see any on you. 😊 I've been doing that & it really helps my appetite + energy, also doing keto is a life changer, even if for just a week at a time! I just did a cleanse, so I had to eat that way & I got some tough weight off that I was unable to for years.

Good to hear it worked for you! I might try that when I'm out of the breastfeeding stage.
