It's really refreshing to see a KZbinr not throw a ridiculously elaborate party for their child.

[@alifeblessed2218]

Great comment! Couldn’t agree more!

[@lorainefleeman6011]

And also not doing expensive trips to Disney, and everything else elaborate that so many youtubers do. This one is basically normal life.

[@alifeblessed2218]

@@lorainefleeman6011 Great point! Children don’t need those things to be happy.

[@jeannineleblancgrant158]

YES YES YES! I so agree!

Really love these chatty everyday posts. I’m an older lady with teenagers, practicing Buddhist, in Texas - what do we have in common?! But I love your friendly chattiness and I got my whole kitchen cleaned including floors mopped etc while just listening to your happy voice and it’s so uplifting just like having a chat with a friend!

[@juliejackman2649]

I like this. Even though everyone is different In some way, there's always something that can bring us together 😊💕

This is awesome.

Ummm no not awesome she is lost going to hell worshipping a fake god...... LORD JESUS is the only way!

[@micheledavis3735]

Oh my goodness! When Miller was laying down at the park, with that little bandana bib, he looked just like Josh! Man, you've got cute kidlets! They're also so well behaved...always.

[@overit1343]

40:22 you are doing wonderful Ms. Megan! By looking at your life you have shown you are WAY more successful than most 29 year olds. I’m 35 and when I was your age my priorities and just way of thinking wasn’t anywhere close to where yours is. You’re a wonderful mother, you stand by your faith and beliefs and make your husband, family and home your number one priority. I’d say you’re leaps and bounds in the successful area.

[@easeyll]

I’m having a hard week and my baby is sick again so this 43 minute video just made my entire day. Thank you 🙏🏻

Best wishes to you and your baby!! 💕

Hope the baby is feeling better! Take care of yourself

[@BigBlessedNest]

I have my own espresso machine and the fact I can make myself a genuine latte every morning and it tastes better than any $6 drink I could get through a drive thru, makes all the difference in the life of a mom. Lol.

[@ljbreck]

This was so fun to watch! Your outfit for the women’s conference was so elegant and chic! Obsessed. I’m a quilter so I need to come to Lancaster county to look at all the fabric shops! I’m so envious 😍

[@minivandreamin1789]

This was a great “Classic Megan” video. I’m glad I watched this one. This type is more inspirational to me as a mom.

[@sarahjones6858]

Fletcher's birthday cake wS so beautiful. 😍 Good job, Megan! 😊 Also, your outfit for the women's conference looked so nice. You looked amazing. I did enjoy this video. Thank you for taking the time to do this for us. 🤗 Have a good day! 😊 💛

[@laurenalcala4253]

What a great week! Happy belated birthday fletcher! Love the "giraffe" dress. Looks good on you! Hope you had a great time at the women's conference!!

[@katiesnider3137]

I LOVE the longer videos. It's like hanging out with a friend!

[@marilynkleinsasser1652]

Loved this 43 minute one...did some house cleanup while I watched and made it much more enjoyable! Thanks Meagan! Love watching someones ideas that's on the same stage of life as myself.

[@janh519]

Such a wonderful video and this Nana is so thrilled, and she will probably watch it again! I also loved it because it wasn’t short! So now you know I want this type again! Your children are adorable! I enjoyed Fletcher’s birthday! Also, you and Josh out with the children, your clothing, and your parents over to celebrate Fletcher’s birthday! I find that staying home helped me save money and I also did a lot of sewing, I can hardly wait until next week! I’ll probably watch some of your past videos that I’ve not seen in awhile. .

[@HesstonandTandem]

I love your videos! I actually sit down and watch them instead of working through them. I also love the cute little birthday party you threw. That is what I do with my kids and it’s nice to see I’m not the only one

[@AbsoluteMdot]

Love your vlogs so much. They are so wholesome and refreshing.

[@alexoxo94]

This was so fun to watch! Made doing dishes go by faster too lol. Would love to see more week in the life videos, maybe one with your schedule and filming. Would love to see how you get it all done with being a mom, wife, cooking, shopping and filming/editing!

[@ocja8066]

What a lovely weekly vlog! Miller is sooo gorgeous! All your children are so beautiful, What a lovely family 🥰 also your neighbourhood looks so nice!

[@stacyray4459]

Love these videos! Watched the last one you did. Makes you stop and think about what all you are spending your money on!

[@traciecarlson4706]

That outfit you wore to the conference is so adorable on you! I love seeing videos about what you are wearing. I have purchased a few things after seeing them on you. Also just love your day in the life videos.

[@mirandagray3170]

Megan! Another great video! In love with that shirt you wore for the conference!! Also that quick shot on Monday with your hair down! 😍 you are so beautiful

[@libraryminnie7674]

Hopefully it gets warm soon. This weather feels endless. There was very little snow but the yucky weather just keeps on going. You are a sunshiny spot on a dreary day. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. That quarter machine sounded like a slot machine!!! 😀

[@MeganFoxUnlocked]

Yes it is rainy rainy rainy over here too!

[@emerie44]

Your videos make me so happy! I just have one baby, and I’m always afraid I won’t enjoy motherhood when he’s older, because I don’t have very much much experience with children. But your videos make me excited! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@lisas2538]

I had so much fun watching this. You have a great personality. The kid’s faces are so cute and precious. You’re doing a good job with everything. I love that you were so excited about the women’s conference. I hope you liked it.

[@blessed4737]

also tell your kiddos what the weather was like the day they were born,what was blooming or what was producing in your garden ect.even though i'm shunned by my family for leaving the amish i still have many memories of my parents making comments about the day of my birth that will always be special to me.

[@margaretqueenofscots9450]

That’s a good idea! I’m sorry about your family. I’m exAmish too, but not excommunicated thankfully.

[@nicole7711785]

Miller has to be the cutest baby I’ve ever seen. I love the simplicity but also the beauty in your channel. You find the beauty in every day life.

[@denisekendall7147]

Seeing the costume for Fletcher brought back memories of our little boy when he turned three. We gave him a toy chainsaw which made all the right noises along with a hard hat. We have a photo of him "trimming" the lemon tree with his Red Band gumboots (a New Zealand thing) which my sister put into a scrapbook. Such lovely memories.

[@kellymalnar]

I loved this week in a life! It looks like you had a great week. Thanks for sharing!

[@alisonmellinger559]

Alisa Childers came and spoke at our church in Millersville right after the conference you went to. She mentioned she had just been to a Mennonite church. So funny that you were there. 😊 I’ve heard good things about the Mama Bear Apologetics book.

[@hertzenkruse3426]

You make being a mom look like so much fun (even though I know it isn't always!)😉

[@MeganFoxUnlocked]

It definitely isn't always, but it's a lot more fun than some people make it out to be.

Great video!. Happy birthday Fletcher. I love his birthday cake and decoration. Thank you for sharing.

[@allisondotzler6359]

Im about halfway through Mama Bear Apologetics! Cant wait to hear more about the conference. Loved your idea about the dinner being a birthday party in disguise!! And, seeing Fletcher with the wheelbarrow made me think how much our son would love that, too!! Always nice to see your smiling face, Megan!

[@BickyToya]

that's the next book on my list!

You looked stunning throughout the video but boy I love your look for the woman's conference and hey. The tide but of personal info on you being nit picky on yourself just shows you're real. I think we all do that in one way or another! I appreciate you being real. And I really would love one day just to meet you and feel your energy in person. I'm so different from you yet,, I can't get enough of your channel and family. I LOVE it thank you for all the time you put into your channel!

[@marleneboothe9632]

Great video and I hope you'll share how the mama Bear Apologetics conference was, seems like a VERY IMPORTANT topic for the culture children are bombarded with today! Also, there was a quick clip of you reading after your evening walk with Miller where your hair was down, it looked beautiful even though you said you've been losing it postpartum! Thanks for always sharing your life, your positivity and especially your Faith with us!!

[@innaonu7924]

Always enjoy watching your vlogs 🥰 the little kids wheel barrel is so adorable! 😆❤

[@trelainamobley6254]

Since you like coconut, have you tried ALDI’s coconut whipped cream in the refrigerated section? It’s pretty tasty! 😀 Also Miller discovering his hand in the, I think, Tuesday morning clip was so precious!! 💕

[@yotagerlie]

Love these longer videos 😁

[@victoriapascoe8359]

Girl love your clothing! Also the book your highlighting donate it still! There’s a coffee shop in my town that has a community library in the back and some of the best books I have traded out of there are the one’s about motherhood. I love seeing notes in the margins and highlighting from previous readers…. God uses the perspective of others to help me grow…. Also can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the Childers book 💗

We love stickers- and as a mom anything “disposable” is a welcome gift. Seems like we just have so.much.stuff and any gift that can be enjoyed then tossed is welcome 😂

[@juliepapyrith5366]

I have to say, "the guilt" I felt in tossing a gift as a child. I'm not a mom, but you can't KEEP everything. If someone gives you a doll or something, you feel like you have to keep it forever. Stickers are the best!!!

[@mariposavioleta9007]

I'd say not to worry about it when it comes to stickers, it's up to the parents to guide or regulate that at home. When I taught Sunday school I gave them all the time and just said it right away that they needed to listen to their parents when it comes to playing with them. And I'd always let the parents know about it so they had a heads up before hand and then up to them how to handle it. I LOVE Alisa Childers!!! She is one of my go-to podcasters and apologists!

[@thomasfamily85]

I think the dress actually looks really good on you! I can identify with the pp hair loss. It's crazy. I'm glad I have very thick hair to begin with.
