🧡🧡It has since been confirmed that I have a residual break from my high school days. Please pray that I don't need foot surgery!🙏
Megan Fox Unlocked prayers in Jesus name!
You poor baby...I know that has been painful and I’m glad you finally know the cause for the pain. I hope it’s taken care of easily and itch out surgery if possible but if you must have an operation, you’ll come through with flying colours. I’ll keep you close in thought and prayer and you, get better! 🥰🕊🙃🤟🙉🙈🙊
Be Well Megan 🌿🌺♥
Praying after I finish typing this, feel better soon.
Megan Fox Unlocked oh dear! Yes, no surgery!
I have found, at least for me, it is the eating-out expenses that sneak up on you when you account for your spending. I enjoy your channel. 👍
Soak your linen in the bath tub for 4-6 hours and then wash.. it will make your linen feel very soft and much easier to iron!! I make historical clothing with linen and I now ALWAYS rehydrate the material, it seems to help it ALOT!
For linen that you wear, this would be the case. It depends on what she wants her curtains to look like. If she wants the crisp look for her curtains, then just wash and damp dry and iron on linen setting with starch if desired. I can't imagine ironing ten yards of curtains myself willingly, so soft curtains might be the look she is going for. But, linen will drip dry wrinkle free if you soak wash it, and then look brand new with a quick iron. I try to catch them at the dampness that will quickly iron dry and crisp. I have had linen garments for more than 10 years that respond to this drip dry care beautifully.
The budget mom!! She teaches how to create a budget for you whether you want to be cashless, enveloped, or a mix and create one that works for you instead of trying to follow a strict budget. We’ve always been decent with money but it’s really helped us save more
I would actually like to challenge you to do this again but only have $100 or less to spend. Not including groceries or bills. I think it would be interesting to see what you prioritize through the week. There are a lot of people who live on less!
Great idea! I know I could do it!
Well many people couldn’t dream of spending that much in a month on miscellaneous expenses, let alone a week. The reason I’d like to see her do this as a “challenge” is to see what she prioritizes during a regular week of spending. That’s all.
It would probably help her. Wouldn’t help someone who didn’t spend much day to day but then got insulating window blackout shades at $400 a pop. :)
That was a very heavy spending week. I find it more helpful to look at my money "monthly" rather than weekly. Because, as you said- some weeks are bigger than others. Even grocery shopping - some weeks it's just perishables, while other weeks I stock up on more. My goal is to on average keep the monthly spending (groceries, items, gas etc. - not counting utility bills etc.) under 1,000 for the month. That said, some months could be as low at 600 and others over 2000. It just all has to balance out to about 1,000 a month.
Wow! Sorry you got so many negative comments on this video! I enjoyed it! I always enjoy seeing/hearing how others choose to spend their money! Everyone has different priorities and we all choose to do different things with our money! Thanks for sharing your life with us! 😊❤
I don’t see any negative comments🤔🤔🤔
I personally feel that you are a great example of a God Loving Christian lady. While you live with conviction, faith and beliefs, you also enjoy what life has to offer. I wish my mom hadn't preached hell, fire and brimestone into our heads, as I really found a hard time to balance the fun of living, and the dread of being a sinner. At 65, I'm still learning. Thanks for sharing your life with us. God Bless 💖
I spent extra money this week myself. I had my granddaughter with me and we had a "cooking intensive." I spent $6.00 for two chapter books for her to read and $4.99 so that she had a good kitchen timer to use in her cooking. And food, as an 11-year-old who eats like a teenager, I spent a ton more on groceries but she is worth every dollar!! I miss her already! We are seniors on a fixed income and we definitely DO budget. We are considered quite frugal!! We have a budget on the computer (using Excell) and if it is not in the budget we don't buy it. My splurge this month was replacing my 20-year-old crockpot that burned out. I bought a new Instant Pot - a big expense for me at $89.00 but this will pay for itself over time in electric savings and time. We use a slow cooker a LOT and it should last for many, many years!! Our largest monthly expense is in buying our groceries. (We don't eat out) I only buy organic and GMO-free foods so our groceries are pretty expensive. But our health is our wealth!!! We shop at a grocery store where all purchases and medications receive points which translates to money saved coupons. Also, I use a Discover Card which gives me CASH BACK every month. We only eat out on a birthday. anniversary or Valentines Day - date days.
This may sound weird but watching your channel has made it seem normal & "cool" to dress modestly. I have struggled with trying to look cute, thinking I'm showing too much, not showing enough. Fashion doesn't have to be skimpy to be cute & happiness is always in style!😊
Mrs. T is Going Debt Free you should check out The Klassy Girl Boutique! They are a modest clothing store and their stuff is adorable!
What a compliment!
Try Main Street Exchange, too. They have cute modest clothes.
@@alexataglance0303 I grew up in a christian family (I am christian) and were forced/teached/learned to wear modest clothes. I was forbidden to wear pants (trousers) in public. I really didn´t understand why ? Why in the winter time I had to freeze? even with all the explanations I was not convinced... Today. I wear what I want and what I like, with respect for the different occasions. and modest--- I don´t feel the need to show nothing of my body to other than my husband, but I am free to wear exactly what I want. 1 Corinthians 10:23 I have the right to do anything,” you say-but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”-but not everything is constructive..
Me too! I’m not Christian, but always felt uncomfortable showing off my body, even though it is a “conventionally attractive” one lol. Dressing up to go out with my stomach out just made me feel self-conscious, but it was what everyone else did. I thought dressing modestly meant dressing like a nun. But since I started watching Megan and a couple of Mormon youtubers, I realised that actually I can look super cute and not show so much skin. It really does make a difference. She also made me want to take up sewing, I’m asking for a sewing machine for Christmas 😊 If anyone knows any modest shops in the UK, let me know
No shame! Your allowed a little fun now and then! But it's good to track to see where you can save and improve!! Thanks for the honesty!
I love watching your channel and Lynette Yoder. It’s refreshing to see both of yours lifestyle
I love how real you are with your viewers, Megan! It’s so inspiring to see how you guys spend time together as a family and also taking time to do things with friends, away from kids. Thank you for sharing, I feel very inspired!
Love the Celtic music! Super fun to see your week and what you spend. I’d love to see a “normal” week, too! Thanks for sharing your life with us!!
Yes, linen comes in pure white - the fiber is bleached. 10 yards of linen for $70 is a very good price, especially if it's 55+ inches wide. Linen is one of the oldest cultivated fibers and samples that are over 5,000 years old have been found in tombs. It's an easy care fabric, taking washing (cool temps, gentle cycle) and line drying very well. If you are making draperies from your linen, it will last longer if lined - it keeps sunshine and moisture off the linen, which keeps it from deteriorating. Also NEVER use the dryer for linen - it will grind the fibers together and wear it down much quicker. I have curtains & drapes that are decades old and look brand new - I only line dry and then iron them before re-hanging. You can Google "care instructions for linen fabric". Good luck, and enjoy your fabric and the satisfaction of making your own household items.
There are always rare times when more money gets spent. We live very frugal and debt free. We don't keep up with current trends (decor, clothing, etc.). But, yesterday spent $1500 because we have to replace our 29 year old refrigerator and dishwasher. I also don't follow a budget, but very mindful of what we spend. Groceries are our usual staples, but if there is a good sale on something thank keeps- I buy a bunch making the days purchase more than usual. Saves in the long run. You are blessed to have some special girlfriend time. I just went to lunch with some church friends on Wednesday! One of our friends moved from Indiana to South Carolina and was back in town for a visit.
As a quilter, and just as someone who loves to sew, I LOVE shopping for fabric! The place you went to looks like a super-store for fabric and it looks fabulous.
I have watched several of your videos and love them! I have several Mennonite friends so I appreciate how you are sharing your heart and life. I have never made a comment on any other media but I want to share from my heart to yours. In 2010 while home on leave from the Air Force my 23yr old son was killed. He was riding with a girl that was doing distracted-texting while driving. I fought for a bill against texting and distracted driving law in Ohio. It's not as stiff as it should be but I think of it as a memorial to my son. Megan I pray that you would please set an example to others and stop driving while doing some of your video! Thanks and God Bless you!
“I bought myself some flowers!“ 🌸👏☺️ Well done with the 52k! Congrats 🎉
I’m not a doctor, but it’s sounds just like plantar fasciitis. I used to work in the footwear department of a running/hiking/outdoors store called REI and we had a lot of backpackers, marathon runners, just all kids of people on their feet. Plantar fasciitis is incredibly common, especially for people who tend to over use their feet. A really good pair of shoes is such a life saver! You’re spending a little more up front, but you’re getting back some quality of life and when you take care of your shoes they can last a very very long time. I wear Brooks running shoes everyday (I work in a hospital) and I haven’t had a flare up in a long time. I also know someone who wore Chacos sandals everyday to cure her plantar fasciitis if you’re into that look. Haha. But seriously, I would look for a running specialty store to have someone fit you for some good shoes. I believe the closest REI Co-Op to you would be in Philadelphia. Probably a trek, but if you find yourself in there, I would pop in and have someone help fit you! Good luck with everything! I LOVE your channel!!
My foot pain went away once a got a new pair! I'd been fit for the old pair but it already had about 400 miles on it so it wasnt giving me the support I needed
I love your ability to take risks and your joyful enthusiasm!
Great job, love the music, especially the Celtic music, it was sweet to see you love your cousins as friends, mine live far away, so continue to treasure them. Blessings as always. ❤
This was a fun video to watch !! It's funny how fast things can add up ! We spent more this week than we normally do because my husbands trucks brake line broke and had to be replaced ! That was 280.00 !! Although I'm trying to just be grateful that the truck is 18 yrs old , paid off and gets my husband to work and back daily ;) gotta look on the bright side !!
Tammy You are completely WINNING the vehicle game! That $280 spent says you are SMART!!!
Congratulations on 50k!!
Those babies of yours are so, so adorable
I would love the salsa recipe.
Your sister is so beautiful! Love the video!
Aww, I'll pass that on to her. I think so too!
@@MeganFoxUnlockedI think both of you are beautiful. ?? Blue Eyes and Brown Eyes. I Love your blue eyes. Do you wear contacts Megan?
You and your sister are seriously so naturally beautiful!😍
Aren’t they?! Thought the same thing
We do not budget and never have. We have been married for 24 years, have no credit card debt, no mortgage. One has to understand ‘wants’ versus ‘needs’.
Wash linen multiple times, then dry in dryer...Been married for nearly 52 years and still cannot budget, but we pay for everything and owe nothing.
Love your positive spin at the end (stuck at home = saving money). So good!
This video actually helped me a lot because I feel extremely self conscious and guilty whenever I spend money. I feel like Mennonites are very frugal, and it helped me to see that even you spend money sometimes. Now I feel like I don’t actually spend too much. Life just costs money. Thank you!
Oh, also, I made two of the dresses you posted the other week! They turned out great. Thank you for the inspiration. It was nice to dust off my old sewing machine and make something for myself.
Your channel showed up in my suggestions and I am so glad I clicked on it. I'm loving it so far. You have a beautiful family and I look forward to your videos.
(I’m a year behind on your videos)! Times have changed! When I was your age, I was living in the seventies! Can you imagine how much prices have gone up since then? I was a teacher nine months out of the year and we had a grandmother who came to our home and took care of our two children...got them off to school after I left for my school. Was there when we got home and she had the house clean, just because she wanted to and we gave her bonuses for that, as it was appreciated. I often left meals ready for the crockpot and she started those for me. Same for oven roasts, etc. The week you kept track of your expenses was seven times more than our babysitting expense for a week! We only ate out on Friday nights. We loved cooking and grilling out at home. My parents kept us stocked on home canned foods and my husband’s parents had beef cattle, so we were “set”! I made a lot of my own clothes. We lived in a military area, where people were always getting transferred in and out...tons of garage sales! We were always fortunate and able to save...all for our kids’ college and long summer vacations. We never know when work might get slow or there’s illness in the family. We felt savings on eating out were the best ways to save. When our stomachs were full, we were well satisfied, regardless of what we’d eaten. I liked to cook and bake. Also, I was more of a home-body than you are. I think it’s because I had no siblings. I preferred my kids having their friends play at our house and sometimes we had ten neighbor kids at our house at one time! I made our own pizzas and the kids loved that. I think it’s wonderful that you keep track of what you spend and that you enjoy sewing and cooking. Your children are beautiful and they have gorgeous parents!
I love this dress in the starting! The design, color, and sleeves are so pretty!
I like that you try to be conscious of your spending but not stingy and missing out on experiences with your family and friends!
lol you reminded me of a time when my hubby said I was spending too much money 😳well I have always kept my dockets so I know how much I do spend but also I’m one of those people who always ways up the pros and cons of certain purchases and 9 out of 10 I never buy 😹😹😹 so I told him to find all of his dockets for the past two weeks and I gave him mine and it turned out he had been the one spending the money😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹 I did get a lovely bunch of red roses as a way of him saying sorry 😊😊 he’s never said those words to me again in the past 30 years 😹😹😹😹
Not sure how I came to your channel but I have been loving it so far 😊😊😊😊
Megan I love watching your videos. I am a mom, grandma and great grandma. You remind me of some of my granddaughters and it is fun for me to watch your day to day life and your sweet babies. God bless you and your sweet little family.
You and your sister are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!! 💙
At Wednesday so far and each day you’ve said “this is not a normal day for me” hahaha.
I'm trying to save money right now, but fall is my favorite season so I need to buy all of the cardigans at the thrift store.
Can we be best friends, lol!
Yes this!
Diet Pepsi is awful any diet soda is, if you want a treat have a regular soda it’s better that way! Love your videos Megan!
I don't drink soda hardly ever but I hear ya!
When you drink soda that takes calcium out of your bones. If you drink soda the regular soda is better for you than diet soda.
My DH's dietitian told us the same thing. Diet soda isn't a good thing. I drink iced tea, ice water w/lemon, etc. I occasionally drink a regular soda, but not every day.
I have heard this too. We like diet.💁 It's all bad for you lol.
@@MeganFoxUnlocked Aspartame is in this and is really bad stuff. I get awful headaches.
Had to pause the video quickly to ask... will you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE reconsider filming and using your phone while driving? You are such a role model. You are making impressions into the lives of many people. Lots of love! God bless!
Watched this in Scotland lovely family easy to listen to xxx
This popped up on my suggested videos today, May 19,2020. You should do another one of these for the coronavirus days.
Congratulations on 50k! You deserve it! 😊❤
Thank you for putting finance into perspective and now making me want to see where we're overspending! 😂😂
Linen is a great fabric. Makes beautiful draperies. Wash in warm water and dry in dryer...that way you know its shrunk! Linen wrinkles like crazy but is a beautiful fabric! I always say "embrace the wrinkles"! I wear linen a lot in the summer. I have one set of linen curtains in my living room. I usually wash and hand them up wet on rod to dry. Or I have ironed them and hung them up as well. It will depend on the structure of the fabric whether if its a heavy linen or light linen as how you will do the header of the curtain. It may need a stabilizer depending on if you do rod pocket, grommets or pinch pleats. Hope that helps!
Blessings
from Owen Sound ON Canada
Just wanted to pop in and say that, even though we have very little in common lifestyle-wise, I just really like you and your personality brightens my day :)
Your linen bargain looks great and will make super curtains! You can easily tell whether it's truly linen by scrunching up a handful: if it creases instead of springing back, it's linen. You'd do well to wash it before you measure and cut for curtains as it will shrink a little. Better to have the shrinkage over and done with before you make the curtains. Whatever you do, line dry the fabric, though; tumble dryers are death to linen! It should wash on a 30 or 40 degree cycle. Can't wait to see you making those. Tape or tabs or..?
Loved this idea. $75 a week on groceries? WOW! You are blessed. I live in Canada and I just had to up my budget from $100 to $150 a week for my husband and I and 1 toddler. I tried so hard to stay within the $100 but too many weeks it was impossible.
Our budget has creeped up. I am also in Canada and my budget was 80 with my husband, myself, a toddler and a newborn. It creeped up to 100 when the newborn was about 2.... it's now at 120/w with 3 kids. If I sat down and meal planned and price matched better I could probably get it back down.
Well . . . we have meat in our freezer so that helps!
We are also in Canada and I'm blessed with meat in the freezer so I get away with about $100-$125 biweekly. Then we do a Costco run about every 2 months (usually only about $100).
This is amazing!
The meat in the freezer saves me too. Means I only buy it when there are amazing sales.
I have no idea why this video popped up in my feed, but I enjoyed it and I will probably check out your other videos 😊. I grew up in Lancaster and still have my brother in E-town and my dad lives in Marietta and I have aunts, uncles, and cousins all over the county. I’m not Mennonite but I always admired their way of life even when I was a kid. Now I live in California (and I have for over 30 years) but I still have part of me in PA ❤️. You were a pleasure to watch and I love your enthusiasm 😊
Congratulations on reaching 50k subscribers! Fun video resembling a week in a life. I think this exercise of tracking our spending is good/helpful for all of us to do. Money and spending is such a personal thing-thank you for the video!
Look up exercises for plantar fasciitis. That MIGHT help your pain. I currently have heel/arch pain due to a surgery that had me nonweight bearing for almost 3 month. Plus the surgery was for my Achilles. Long story short... Ice, firm massaging the areas, and stretching- lots of stretching.
new sub great video!! I used to work but now I am a stay at home mom of three (17, 7 and 2)and now only have my husbands income and I have realized how much money i wasted when i was working. This has made me think before I buy! (I do cheat sometimes lol) But I am so much better. Have a great weekend!
It sounds to me like you have Plantar Fasciitis! It’s no fun, but there are some things that you can do to help the pain. Most notably, not wearing flat shoes. Make sure that your shoes have arch support and/or get an orthodic! Love your videos-from a fellow PA mom!
I think I may have plantar fasciitis too. I cut out gluten for a bit and that seemed to help the inflammation for me.
Megan, you are a breath of fresh air! I love your videos...you always seem to have so much energy. Congratulations on 50K + subscribers! I've been with you for a few months. I love your honesty and wish I were as resourceful and creative as you. My 2 sons are grown, but I could have used a motivator like you when they were growing up! Stay sweet. ♥
It’s interesting to see how other people live. $600 in a week not including any bills paid (besides groceries) I wish I had that kind of budget! But I know as a single mom, my circumstances are much different than others! Fun video! Thanks for sharing 😊
Yes, and the week before this I probably spent only $40-$80. It's not always like this!
Same! That is half our total monthly income XD
Same! I’m a single mom with 2 kids so I’m living vicariously through others lives 😂 no shame to those who want to spend the money they earn but that seems like such an outrageous amount of money to spend a week.
For sure, if it were every week. She says it's not the case. Everyone circumstances are different. My husband and I are struggling a lot at the moment and I couldn't dream of spend that amount but in another lifetime I have spent even more in a week. IMO it's about making the best with what we have and our circumstances.
I have been a stay at home mom for 2 months now after leaving my nursing job after 12 yrs. Thankfully we moved out of NY and our mortgage is not expensive plus my husband still commutes there and makes enough money for us not to really struggle. I did have to stop spending on things I didn’t need. This week is the first week since staying home that I spend around that same amount she did. But most of it was groceries for the house that I needed to replenish. But usually it’s around $20-50 a week if that. We also don’t eat meat or dairy or processed foods and eat out maybe twice a month which helps.
I'd love to see a stay home week. Like what youd normally do and cook etc. Probably a shorter video, but itd still be great!
Great video and I agree with the plantar fasciitis. No more flip flops. Invest in good shoes with support. Your feet will thank you ☺️.
A lot of this was $ spent on experiences with friends and family. No shame! You’re conscientious and no one knows your income/budget so don’t feel guilty or bad.
Thank you for sharing your kind, gentle heart and beautiful family with us!
Yes, apparently "social eating" is a real think!
You may have a ‘Plantar fasciitis’ under your foot. Don’t worry it’s common, just look it up online. You can also roll a tennis ball under your sore foot back and forth to exercise the muscle or a bottle of water that’s been frozen. I pray you find out and it heals quickly🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Loved this!!! I am married to Mr. Receipt. I "nickel and dime" (often) and he "big tickets" (seldom) but it all goes on record in Quicken (a great app/program) at the end of the day, neatly categorized, so we always know where we stand. I think God knew I'd need a financially wise mate.
Just subscribed! I have some mennonite in my blood too. My Mom came from the mennonites in manitoba, Canada ... also some relations in Mexico (chihuahua), and Pennsylvania too. You are so beautiful and blessed! God bless you and your lovely family. 🙂❤🇨🇦
Hi I know this is random but I just wanted to say that I used to live in Amish country surrounded by them and by mennonites and I wanted to thank you for being so entirely excepting of people who aren’t like you and making videos for all to understand the Amish were cruel to my family for being outsiders and me and my older sibling had to mature quicker than others. Mennonites are good God loving people and they are so kind. Most of my friends were Mennonite so thank you again for these videos and showing the difference between the Amish and mennonites. I will always have that in my heart.
Love your videos, this was so fun to watch!
Wow, just stumbled upon your channel and realize we both live in Lancaster! So amazing, love the channel 🧡
This video really made me think about what I spend in a week and how much I spend on certain things. I wrote all the things down from last week and it was better than I thought. I'm keeping a running list for this week as well just to see.
Your dress in your closing clip is darling!! I'd love some tips on where you buy affordable, modest clothing- maybe online shops you use?
What an exciting week! As a work at home, homeschooling mom of five little girls between 2 years old and 8 years old, I rarely get out of the house. It looked liked you enjoyed yourself!!! I do stay home all the time, but I do most of our shopping online. I bet if I forced myself to take all the kids shopping instead of shopping online I would spend way less.
I don't know...coming from a big family, when we go shopping everyone starts asking for stuff!
@@purplecosmos5431 true, good point!
Mennonites are so wise and cool!
Yes I total hear you on some weeks we spend and others we don't. So far this week $105.00 for my assistance dog at the vet. Then $198.00 on 2 bath sheet one bath mat and one hand towel. 2 donna covers and one set of King size sheets. But I have discarded one set of old towels and hopefully 3 doona covers to justify the doona covers and I did need the sheets. Oh well. It is what it is. Love from Australia ❤️
Sounds like you record your spending! Good for you! 🧡
I so enjoyed this video! Not only did we get to see a bit of the countryside (spectacular by the way), but it’s also made me more mindful of what I’m spending!! It DOES all add up, and I’m going to be grateful for the days spent at home actually making money (I have a small sewing business) rather than spending it!!
Megan, I love the pumpkin color top with the jean skirt, that looks so pretty!!! Thanks for the fun video, it really showed how your money adds up!! Love ya! (Your family is so precious!)
Your videos are so enjoyable, I’m honestly surprised how much I’m liking them! You’re down to earth and funny and also very beautiful.
Megan it sounds like plantar fasciitis. Orthotics will vastly improve this. Also freeze a water bottle and roll your foot on it after excercise. See if that helps relieve your pain. One other thing buy a better shoe. It is worth the expense to buy a really good sandal with great support also a good walking shoe. May save you an X-ray bill and another dr bill.
Thank you for the lovely content! its great to see a positive, healthy home
Vlogs are my favorite type of video to watch and it was so neat to see how you incorporated your average spending along with it! It’s also so exciting to see you guys went to the Jigger Shop because it’s close to my area and it’s such a sweet treat!❤️
It sounds like you might have Plantar fasciitis? It can act up after exercise!
Love your videos!
I was thinking the same thing. My mom has Plantar fasciitis.
I would say that it is. What helped me was Allegria shoes. I wear nothing else because it comes back if I do.......
Came here to say this, too. Not sure what her beliefs are regarding acupuncture but it's been the biggest source of relief for me and relatively affordable.
So happy I’m watching your video while having my breakfast because it’s full of great food! Pretzel with mustard sauce! Nice that your hubby is willing to be part of the video. Thanks!
Y’all are such a beautiful little family. Loving your channel and your humbling personality. This is great.
When I took care of littles I had foot pain also and went to the Dr but they could find nothing. Finally I discovered on my own it was the repetitive action of bouncing babies on my knee. My foot quit hurting when I stopped bouncing babies.
Mennonites have so much money where I live, Lancaster County. We in Lancaster don't have this kind of money at all!!! We ride the bus and use coupons. So lucky they are!
All Mennonites have money
You've recently moved houses, consider the difference between the floorings. I've known others that have gone from wooden floors, which have some give, to concrete floors which don't. It can be very hard on your feet and cause pain for months.
Super video and as ALWAYS I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Celtic music hun' and then the places you go ALL home to me Mt Gretna and Malvern and near Philly so yeah #homesick!! The striped fabric made me think of Lynette she's a stripe girl! Thanks for another fun and informative video!
This is such a great idea! Its nice to see what other do! that pastry shop uhh i want to eat it all!
I love this particular video. I loved seeing what you spent in a week even if it was not your typical week. I love you and your family and I especially love your fashion sense.
This was so interesting. I am tracking my spending this coming week just to get an idea of what I spend, really loved this video.💕
Thank you for sharing and your honesty. I now don’t feel alone. It’s call life and life happens
Great video Megan, and a good reminder for us all to just be aware of our spending. Josh introducing you on the Sunday had me in fits of laughter and the kid's are so cute 😁😁
I'm so happy for you and your husband. I'm also happy I found you. You are so happy with your life and it shows. I suffer from depression and listening to you is fun for me. I know that sounds weird but I'll take it where I can get it. Thanks.
Good Morning, Megan, (Disclaimer: I am NOT a medical professional!) It sounds like what you're experiencing may be a stress fracture. Your doctor may advise that you "rest" (decrease impact) for a few weeks, get more padded shoes, and /or recommend an OTC med. (This is based on personal experience.) Good luck!
Yes, they said it's a residual break from high school. Thanks for the advice though!
Great video. I used to eat out do much. For better health and to save money I am limiting myself to two times s week whenever possible. Game changer in the financial department!
Congratulations on reaching 52K. Always enjoy seeing Evonnie, Fletcher and Josh in the vlog too. Enjoy your salsa, it looks amazing.
this was a great idea. inspiring to get my act together financially. and I am really frugal. I just subscribed to your channel because I think you are sweet..lol I am old enough to be your mom, but I will learn from anyone willing to teach. Thank You.
I loved this video so much!! 💕
Yes more budgeting videos 👏
It was fun to come along!😁
I am budgeting and I use an app to track my expenses. It is not unusual for me to go a few days without spending anything at all. There are days when I just go to work and back home and because I bring my own lunch I don't have to spend money on those days. And on other days when I am out with friends it suddenly adds up. :D
Lol girl I am budget obsessed, but if you're not into detailed budgeting I think the Jordan Page way is good for simpler budgeting
Yes, I do here grocery/other envelope system!
Farm House on Boone Street. Lisa is awesome, she does quite a bit of sewing, especially with linen. Also recipes and other things! I love her 😍
Lisa (Farm House on Boone Street) also made curtains out of drop cloth. Her curtains are so cute. I think she has a free tutorial for making the curtains.
Yes, she has a bunch of sewing tutorials as well... She's awesome!
Love your videos! Thanks for all the work you put into them!
Megan, the best investment I ever made was having my feet fixed. It was so painful before surgeries and then the surgery itself was truly painful but in the end, I can wear any shoe and do anything and they never hurt. Also, I’d been buying shoes too big to accommodate certain areas but no more! From a 7.5 to a 6! Okay, my breast reduction was good money spent as well! I’ll never understand women who want large breasts.
I truly enjoy every video you’ve made and I love learning about your life with your beautiful children and loving husband. You are so kind and thoughtful and I wish everyone could be the same. Thank you and never lose sight of your bliss...
I Love Megan and her precious children also Loving Husband. Our World would be so different if - No Hate and everyone was a Real Christian with Christian Values being used daily.
Yesss new Megan video 😍
