I think you come across as a very kind person who is not quick to judge others, but still is firm in your convictions. I’d say you’re doing a lovely job of sharing with this corner of the internet-bringing positivity and realness, if that’s even a word. :)

[@milly265ify]

I like it when you and Jayna talk about your own lives! no need to be a teacher all the time, we can learn a lot just from your stories and daily conversations

[@Jamesh3218]

Just stick with the bible....Titus 2 says what?

[@katibeth2973]

Megan, I was geniuinely impressed with how you and Jayna talked about modesty and the topics around it. God has given you this platform, and He seems to always give you the words to say. I hope you can take comfort in that.

[@mlm7598]

Megan I believe people come to see you to see YOU and what you are up to. We enjoy the reality you share and the example you set with the children and Josh and just showing how you love your family by all the little things you daily. You are a teacher in spirit so naturally you feel like you are learning or need to share or teach, and that is all wonderful. You as you, is what everyone enjoys and the joy you share and even the opinions you share. You are mentoring your children and viewers at the same time. Regardless of age, we all need to add to our bucket of life's experiences, and you add to that each time you share. I think it is an amazing gift that you have. We all don't have to always agree or try to influence everyone to our preferences but it's a joy to hear others opinions and then we always decide on what's best for our families or ourselves. Thirty -one is not old by any means. I'm 77 and still love to watch, listen, hear what is happening in the world outside of my own area. You are a joy and delight so please don't feel that you always need to have something innovative to share.........just share yourself and life and we all enjoy it as we are still here and coming back. I believe we are all God's children, and just as our children are always learning, we are so as well. I love your lights dancing again the walls in the house........so fun and such a smile those bring to our loves. My mother always hung a crystal prism or a pretty cut glass vase on the window sill as the sun reflected upon them and the rainbows just brought her such joy. Most of her time was spent in the kitchen so she put it where she could enjoy it anytime. Have a beautiful rest of your week and weekend. I Love the embroidery project. Absolutely darling! Blessings

[@erikads8]

I think this video is so encouraging to Moms-young and old because it shows the beauty of motherhood, loving your baby, enjoying your two year old, caring for your family. No teaching involved. Maybe podcasts are a little different but hearing your point of view humbly is a palatable way share that information. You’re doing a great job!

[@mariamikkelsen4803]

I don't know how come I haven't noticed it earlier but Fletcher just became a big boy. It's like he grown a lot lately. Lovely, as always, to follow along. ♥️

[@BEVJERRYJOHNSON]

I think modesty needs to be talked about more. So many kids are not being taught or have role models. You have a beautiful family❣️

[@tonilevinson8511]

As a woman who dresses modestly, I think your podcast is just a way to explain your way of dress and why. I think it's a good topic... that we share our customs with others. Not to change their way of dress, but to educate a bit. The more we are aware of our different ways, the better we might get along in the world.

[@taraweathers1606]

Lilacs!!! The very thought and scent ALWAYS, and I mean always, reminds me of my the bush outside my Grandma Byler’s bedroom window in Middlefield, Ohio. The quilt that was always on her bed is in a basket in my home. When I am sickest and sad, it warms me. Your videos remind me of that dear woman. ❤️

[@denisewells6856]

Love watching you and your family! I'm 73 and I am so glad to find Christian podcasts. You rock!

[@gretabraun6860]

What a fun video Megan!Love the basket your Mom put together for her friend 🧡 and their farm is so beautiful! And keep on encouraging women along the way , Realizing how much we don't know is where I have been for a while already. And it's a good place to be.I Think that's part of humility and then God can teach us❤❤

[@sunshinegalkw9675]

My nana always said to feed extra at night, full babies sleep! Hungry babies don’t… she also had us take a bottle for the last feed with baby cereal mixed in with our milk… it worked.

[@rissymandy4741]

I found your channel back when you first started. 😊 I'm 25 now and still love watching your videos! I'm not in the same season of life as you are ( I'm not married and don't have children yet), but in every video I find a bit of wisdom to tuck away for when that day comes! And plenty of encouragement and wisdom to carry into my days now. 😊 I really appreciate what you are doing and that you chose to put yourself out there. 🧡 God bless you and your family!

[@kcotjo]

Greetings from the middle of Nebraska! You are a busy mama and I love your attitude towards everything. Your children are so blessed to have you for a mother. Someone who truly enjoys homemaking and creating a happy home environment. Work mixed in with fun and love!!! You truly are wise beyond your years. Wishing you a Happy Mother's Day! You deserve a good one!!

[@carolwhisenhunt7504]

Miller is talking so big. He's growing so much. So precious. Fletcher is a little Josh. Baylor looks so much like you. Great video. Ty.

[@micahroyster4502]

Soo excited to watch this Megan!! ☺️

[@Ago2904]

Love your white top. It looks so pretty on you❤ also very much enjoyed watching you bake with the three oldest. What a wonderful Mama you are❤

[@akawebsites5159]

I love when y’all share about your lives and just the day to day stuff! Makes it feel like I’m not the only one!

[@lindasmith5190]

I loved that white top with the ruffeled sleeves you had on in the beginning. Loved the floral skirt also. What a blessed family..

[@msp4852]

Love how you said wanting to be a “cheerleader”. Feel like that’s the perfect for your season of life! You’re so wise and thoughtful in your posts. Thanks for that!

[@heatherjohnson2511]

I love your sweater!! It's so cute! I always watch your videos, It was a great shade of pink before..... oh well, you do you. I love that you include your children into everything, some people don't and make the house look like a museum.... your home is beautiful and cozy! Thank you for sharing!❤

[@Liffster]

Thanks for the happy memories of my many years of homemaking when my 5 kids were small. They are all grown up and parents themselves but I see the fruit of some of the seeds I planted back then, as you will, too.

[@brennapetersen8522]

Just in time. Thanks girl :)

[@charati2703]

I can't wait to watch this!

[@nancyduffer1808]

Oh my Megan, I'm 67 and used to do all the things, and was fast like you, but watching everything you do wears me out lol😂 I guess it's called AGE. You are so fast and efficient and a great mom ❤

[@chroniccreative3790]

Girl I love your outfit !! It looks so good on you! I was going to say just the sweater but I was like - no it’s the skirt color too! And it looks so great on your body and the tan you have!! You lookin good Mama!! And those cookies look delish! Thank you for sharing your life with the world !

[@haveitontheside]

I deeply appreciate your wisdom and your humility. I'm a few years older than you, we're in similar seasons of life and it's just really refreshing to be able to watch someone going through very similar things. You offer a perspective that's grown as you've grown, while it always remains cognizant of your own limitations. I appreciate being able to see you get through life and balance all of it while sharing what you're learning along the way.

[@BrianWaraksa]

They are all such beautiful children, love seeing your videos and hearing your stories. God bless you and your family. Till next week….

[@delilahgross1918]

Glad you guys are back ..Really missed your videos🙏

[@carolejohnston7241]

Love your videos. Thank you Megan!❤

[@chelseakaska3507]

Love how you make every day beautiful & sprinkled with fun. Love the idea of having a craft bag to grab when you want to work on a project!! ❤

[@peggetennant]

I make these sugar cookies, but always use Crisco in them. Also, I put a sugar glaze on mine. Less work. But, letting the children help is a joy. I think we just tune in to enjoy day to day, not teaching. We get taught too much. You’re right, you are one of us, just relax. I had 4 little ones in 5 years, so, I had table runners that could get wiped off - plastic. Haha. You are brave. Your baby is a treasure.

[@beverlyhill6783]

I love buttermilk cookies and buttermilk pie - so yummy - Thank You Megan for sharing with us all - lovely video

[@su-anemerald]

Even the cookies match the decor !! 😊

[@jennifermartin5066]

Miller you are the cutest!!! Your doing a good job Megan. Keep it up!!

[@AbsoluteMdot]

Everything you cook and bake always looks so delicious along with the iced coffees. Loved everything about this vlog. Loved your white flutter sleeve sweater

[@jennylhenry78]

Thank you thank you for sharing about the water soluble paper! I have had an embroidery pattern for my Bible bag for a long time, but my bag is like a thick tan color3d fabric and I had no idea how I was going to get the pattern on it. Yay!

[@threearrows6906]

Definitely blessed to have a 12 week old sleep through the night! Took all 3 of mine about 2 years!

[@msp4852]

Suggestion for when wanting to make homemade goodies- but without so much work…. ✨✨Cut the recipe in half or even in a quarter! Just enough for your family to enjoy the process and a serving or two✨✨ Love that you used your grandmothers recipe 💓😋

[@amy_6768]

Perfect timing! Going for a run!

[@MsSharleneDee]

Me, att 53 yrs old, the wisdom of mid-life is knowing a human never stops learning. Once you realize you always have the opportunity to learn the better mentor/example you will be for your audience. Don't pressure yourself. The fact you state you care is beautiful. And you can qualify your content by stating "in this ERA of my life" - I LOVE that term Megan. And really darlin' just be authentically you. Your audience watches you for you and what you share. You are wonderful :) I just learned from you I need "water soluble paper" for my embroidery projects. You always have something to offer your audience, in ways you will never know. ❤❤❤

[@lynnealexander1200]

I grew up in NJ and we had a whole row of lilac trees in our backyard. I haven’t thought of them in years. They were so gorgeous. I live in Texas now and we don’t have them here. Baylor is growing so fast. He is adorable and looks so happy!

[@mt1885]

hey girl- I just love your videos! 😘 Yummy food and a great Aldi haul😉👍 Those seeing the kiddos- Miller saying parfait is the cutest😁 Y'all have a blessed weekend- Happy Mother's Day🥰

[@sheliamaynus9869]

Another fun video! Thank you!

[@DonnaHarper-lg9pw]

I just adore your videos. As a mom with grown married children with kiddos of their own, I just find your mom times to be so refreshing to me. My youngest grandchild is 12, so many, many years since having the blessing of holding a sweet precious baby. Treasure all these days, they are gone literally in the blink of an eye. Hope you had a lovely Mother’s Day, and were treated like the Queen that you are. 😊❤😊🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@sherryjones377]

Your disco ball is so fun! Enjoyed this video.

[@juliejackman2649]

We bought some shower steamers for our daughter for Christmas. She loves them. Came in a variety of colors. ☺

[@CRJR94]

Megan what a great video, love the “cheerleader” comment, that exactly what you are, and doing it all with love of God in your heart, beautiful!!!

[@mariacastillo1200]

Agree❤!

[@maureenpalardy4912]

Great Video. I like the days in the week videos. Those Lilacs.. I love them. The kids are adorable! Getting sooo big. Good luck with your embroidery project. Hugs❤

[@nexium333]

its nice just to see your smiling faces!!

[@wilmawagler5058]

You’re such a patient mama!

[@cathyoneill9011]

Megan- have you tried parchment paper? It looks like we have the same cookie sheets. Once I began using parchment my cookies were consistently baked nicely and it can be used multiple times. As the sheets heat up with each time in the oven the parchment is a game changer. So many wonderful things in this week’s video. Happy Mother’s Day to you 😊

[@ritzyrare8205]

you can tone down colors by adding a bit of dye on the opposite side of the color wheel. For example, to tone down pink, add a tiny bit of green coloring - that way the pink won't get muddied by the brown.

[@Dana-mb1hd]

Megan 💕. I’m in the middle of making your sausage sheet pan dinner! Can’t wait to watch while I finish cooking. Thank you for all you do. God bless.💕🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@MeganFoxUnlocked]

Have you made it before? It is so good. I need to make it again!

[@Dana-mb1hd]

@@MeganFoxUnlocked I’ve made it many times and it’s a favorite in my house along with your kabobs! I’m hoping for a recipe video in the near future! Love your channel girl!💕

[@WBCRO]

Your mom’s gifts are just so lovely and useful and the baby’s breath experiment looks fun! I’m 61 and am hankering to try it. It delights me to see a young woman enjoying embroidery. Years ago, I took an evening and did a 60’s/70’s-style random (no pattern) design of flowers and miscellaneous butterflies, birds, a sun, etc in a jumble of colours up the side front of my (then) nine-year-old daughter’s denim play/school skirt. She loved it and I had so much fun making it. For an adult embroidery project, you may enjoy a tone-on-tone design. I had a friend who made a delicate pink/peach dress out of lightweight cotton and she embroidered small flowers around the hem in the same colour as the fabric. It was so pretty and wonderful for an adult. If you want a more noticeable design for one of your jackets, perhaps a non-floral design would suit you more. Something graphic? Swirls, paisley, linear designs (eg a Greek key) might work. Using only one or two colours would keep it firmly in the “lady” category too. Best wishes from Canada!

[@kathleencasella4703]

Miller talking is so cute. 😊❤

[@jinglei95]

Always such a joy to watch your videos Megan, and that veggie sandwich looked sooo good! I'm inspired

[@MeganFoxUnlocked]

It was surprisingly amazing! I think the star is the heirloom tomato, sub sauce, and banana peppers, and the avocado 🥑. . . .haha just all of it!

[@loricooper3497]

I always enjoy watching your videos. I live in Indiana, but my mom lives in Rothesville, so many of your videos “take me home”. Josh was replacing siding on a home in her neighborhood on this one. Made me chuckle to see that! Enjoy this beautiful Spring weather and your precious littles! ❤

[@taraerickson6930]

Hi Megan! I have a Kitchen Aid and have had this happen to me frequently. Its like the beater doesn't quite reach the bottom of the bowl and some of the butter and sugar doesn't mix all the way in. I had my hubby adjust the height of it from a youtube tutorial 😁. I'm a watcher, but first time commenter. I enjoy watching your channel and the Honey I'm Homemaker. I'm a mama of 7 and a SAHM and really appreciate all of the inspiration and tips! Keep up the good work!

[@carolynclark1724]

Great video! The sandwich looks delicious and will give it a try. Your children are adorable.

[@reneedoddrell2158]

I bought some disco balls because you shared about yours. I'm looking forward to using it for a party soon. Miller sounds British haha so cute.

[@deborahsavoie2159]

Happy and a bless mother day.

[@momoflittleladies]

I bought caned soup this week too- I never do that!!! But it’s a busy season with track and homeschool ending so one night a week of soup is going to help!

[@shaundabrook94]

I was just going to ask if all your outings with your kids go smoothly, cause it always seems like it! I’m glad I watched until the end where you explained your 2 year old started off with a meltdown. Thanks for being real!! I only have 2 kids (5 and 2) and I have a hard time going out with them because I’m nervous how it’ll go. I think I need to pray and also just not have such high expectations with littles! Loved this vlog like usual 🩷

My suggestion for cookies : scoop them out the night before and then freeze them on the tray and pop in a Ziploc overnight in the freezer.

[@None979]

Have you tried the dye with daffodils? They turn out so pretty. I definitely will try the baby breathes.

@@MeganFoxUnlocked only problem is.....now I want cookies and that veggie sandwich 🤣🤣

[@juliamiller6947]

yes the cookie dough does warm up after you do multiple batches and ALSO the pans get so hot. you could see in the video that the dough was melting as soon as you put it on the pan. idk if we have time and patience to rectify the situation when baking a big batch of cookies but that is why that happens to the end batch haha

[@crystalpowers5648]

Hi! Fletcher and Miller look so alike but I feel like the new baby looks completely different 😊❤

[@sarahvacca9363]

For the shower steamers, the red number 4 and the other color and numbers refers to the color dyes used.

Baking with kids: As soon as the kitchen aid comes on, all the kitchen chairs are pushed to the counter and the battle for prime real estate in front of the mixer begins 😂

Prime real estate 🤣 it's so true tho! I always have to watch my toes so they don't get hit when the chairs start flying in!!

I make a big batch of chocolate chip cookies and freeze dough balls so I can always have fresh baked cookies ( or eat the dough balls).

[@bethanyhutchinson6714]

Aww! I love 2 year old voices!!!! 😍 I have found that explaining the reasons behind why I’m asking something goes a long way with my kids, particularly my son. Sometimes they really do need to just obey, but if it’s not an issue of safety, I really try to explain why.

[@bettyloar2238]

Your baby is adorable, growing

love your Mom's ideas. sorry about the friend that has cancer. I hope she does well. I lost my son to Cancer 2 weeks before Christmas 2023 and May 5th was his 51st birthday. I guess the Lord wanted him more then me. I always found that explaining to the 2 yr old why worked better then just wanting them to obey. being a helper is always a good thing. I love the flowers turning colors babys breath.

It’s funny how seasonal changes affect us. I love the Christmas season. I love the holiday season. But I could care less for winter 😂. When spring gets here and I get to garden again and the sun is warm on the skin, it’s just a whole new level of happiness!

[@MissingMayberry]

All of that reminds me of Gods intention too. The holiday season reminds me of the purpose He created in relationship because we are not created to be alone ❤. The seasonal changes just remind me of his beautiful creation and the way that He offers us new mercy the same way the old can die off and new growth comes in spring!

They are definitely better for sure!
