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!!
I do have energy when I get my sleep. But I don't have any to spare, sorry!
Josh is the BEST! A godly, hardworking father who sets a solid example for his children. 😊
I love it when you say”hey,hey, it’s a new day “ 😂❤
I reorganized my pantry as a Mother’s Day gift to myself!
The biggest favour you can do yourself in the dressing department is understanding your body shape and stature, and omitting things that aren't flattering, while you shop. Sure it looks gorgeous on someone else, but certain things look gorgeous on you that she can't wear. Repeat what looks amazing on you, including colours.
Haha this is so great. I’m only about 6 minutes in and already thinking this is the most realistic project I’ve seen on CZcams in forever😂
Life with littles! Gotta love it!
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
@@sandybayes2252that’s amazing, God bless you! You’re an amazing grandmother!
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!
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. ❤
Please tell Evonnie that she did really well in singing for her school program.
My house really needs some attention..can't do much. I love my modular Tupperware too. I just need to remember to do my best and my best is enough..that goes for everyone. ☺
I love how you got your daughter a pink bike even though you have 3 boys in line) it's so sweet!
Just know this season in life will pass quicker than you can even imagine! Just breath and enjoy the ride.
Love your channel!
aww. thanks for that reminder!
My aunt’s sister owns fashion cents, so when you said that you were taking your clothes to a local consignment store, I started to wonder if it wasn’t fashion cents! And when you said that it was, I started laughing! 😂
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.
I was going to say the same thing! It's a perfect plan for when you have littles that keep interrupting!
Don’t be afraid to leave shelves and areas empty. It will come to you as you live and work what really belongs there.
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! ❤
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
Yes.. enjoy this phase of life.. we are now empty nesters.. but anytime I can snag up the grandkids for the day we do!!
I love the way the back yard has taken shape. Well done!
You have the cutest little garden helpers! I love Evonnies bicycle. She looks so darling riding it.
Love watching all the yard projects.
Literally perfect timing Megan!! I needed the motivation 😅
The raised beds look good. Great project for the whole family. Enjoy entertaining on the patio!
Yayyyy!!! So excited when you post!! Cant wait to Watchhhh❤❤❤ Your Channel is one of my Favouritesss🤭🫶🏻🎀💫 Hope you have a great dayyy!☺️☺️
I loved this video. Your raised beds looked wonderful! Your little family is so cute!
It all looks great! Realistic things we need to do and you make it look great!
Megan💕. Your spring videos are some of my favorites!!!!! Thanks for the inspiration! You make my daughters nap time so much fun! 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕🙏🙏
I love all the seasons! Otherwise I'd be in Florida!! heehee!
I also LOVE all the seasons, however, I must admit that I dread the hottest part of summer! It doesn’t bother the young ones, though! They love summertime!
So happy to see this today. I hope you have a wonderful day!
Love this video!!! I'm in the middle of filming a kitchen clean up while I'm watching you. The expression on your face when the box broke 😅 priceless!
Feels so good to have a kitchen reset, doesn't it? Your kiddos are so cute ❤
You are such a great momma 💕
Love the nature sounds & gardening 🌿🦋
Great video Megan! I just Loved the flickering lights of the disco ball !.. you’re right, it adds a fun element, while doing housework, or mundane tasks! Btw.. your patio looks beautiful..👍🙏💕
Thank you, Megan for your positive attitude. It is very inspiring and encouraging! 🥰
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!!
When spring gets so busy having fun, I miss winter just a bit! At least until I bring in the fresh produce... As always, I enjoy your videos! Thanks for taking the time to mark your days with us! I appreciate what you said about your body in this season.... What an encouraging video ❤
It’s much more fun just watching you clean and organize 😂
I love watching organizing. ☺ I just reorganized my pantry cupboards and made a laminated stock/grocery list to place on the inside of each door because I would keep getting repeats of items. 😁
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. 😊
I love the beauty, music, realness, verses in your videos....they are edited perfectly! 💜
Everything looks so good in your yard. The brunch will be awesome!
Young moms enjoy your kids when they are little. Mine are both grown and moved out and it's not fun. I miss those days when they were little.
❤
I love that you are refreshingly honest about the part of CZcams 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 🤷
In raised beds you can put wood in the bottom first to take up some space , then add the dirt. God Bless.
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.
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!
Can't wait to watch after i put my little ones to bed, i get so excited every time i see you upload Megan! I love watching your family grow along with ours. Praying for God to continue blessing you guys 🙏🏽
Enjoy this video love when you’re planting getting ready for spring thank you Megan for always sharing. You’re awesome. GodBless❤
I’m painting my kitchen 😊 with you in the background, of course! ❤
Oooohh! That will make such a difference I'm sure!
So inspiring to other young mamas! Keep up the good work!! Love ya!💖🇦🇺
Love this video. even tho your getting a lot done, it looks so peaceful outside and just so. much slower paced.
Great video love watching all your videos. You did a great job. I’ll see you in the next video. Have a blessed Thursday night.❤❤
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!!
I love that you have Scripture quotes in your walk-in closet. I think I’ll put my life verse in mine so I can see it everyday. It’s Philippians 4:4-7, BTW.
I love your videos! They are always so realistic and relatable. Been listening to past ones while also deep/spring cleaning our house. Going on week four of trying to tackle the house one room at a time. Takes forever with kids but also love the mom life💙💕
Love that!
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?
Hey! New to your channel - watching about a week now and love it!!
I have littles and trying to garden I totally understand the split of having so much to do inside and outside all at the same time!!
I have been enjoying doing chores along with you lately
Keep it up !
Loved the voice over and scripture at the end!
I have been prepping for my daughters 5th and 7th joint 😊 birthday party this Saturday. (Their birthdays are 15 days apart).
Meanwhile I am spring cleaning and washing all my walls down from mucky finger prints from this last year - making good memories I hope.
Thanks again Megan.
That sounds efficient! Party planning is fun!
oh my! miller planting seeds was just adorable. that striped dress you wore to the green house is so cheery and fresh.
hey girl- Loved the video!😀😉 Keep up the good work- organizing, planting etc👍 Y'all did a great job on the beds🤗 Oh so cool! Always enjoy seeing the kiddos- You are an awesome Mother Megan😘 Have a blessed weekend🥰
Spring time is always so busy for us, planting garden and tending my flowerbeds plus the inside chores, love watching ❤
Megan ,
I get tired just watching you ! You are an inspiration . Your house looks beautiful inside and out . Your loving care put forth us obvious . Also that stripe bright coloured dress looks lovely on you. I bet you would look lovely in those bright colours even if they are not your favourite ❤
My home project for this week is wrangling our summer travel and social calendar - lake weekends, NYC trips, and even an international trip. Thanks for the wonderful video - your productivity is an inspiration!
Yes, planning can feel so unproductive, but it makes things go WAY BETTER!
Michelle, it's always a pleasure to watch. Love that you show the goid and the nots so good. It all looks beautiful. Have a great day. 😊
Perfect video for me today! I'm currently cleaning out my car getting my outside cleaned up
Ooooh! one of my favorite chores because it can actually GET CLEAN!
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!
You can fill the bottom of your planter with rocks, sticks, broken pavers, etc. to spend less on soil.
Put 1 or 2 layers of cardboard in the bottom of the box or basket before storing oils in them. It works! 😃 BTW you and Josh got a lot done!
Yes the cardboard trick would have solved it all!!
Oh my, you reminded my of The caboose that got loose, which we read in my childhood home here in Sweden! So nostalgic and fun, makes me wanna see if I can find it for my son. Thanks for a lovely episode, know how it is trying to get organized with littles!
I love your modest wardrobe. You always look beautiful. ❤
Josh should use the smaller closet and give you the space for that cubicle organizer
Ohhhh, that’s one of our favorite books. ❤️
Love your raised beds! Generally veggies need full sun...hope they do well there! Love your family!
I literally did the exact same thing today😁 I had ordered some organizing items and today was the day to add them to my pantry and cabinets and clean and organize everything around it… so satisfying but also exhausting… sooooo many small decisions to make along the way!!
My suggestion is to have all of Josh’s things in the small closet and your things including that cubicle in the walk-in closet. Also, what’s in the dresser?
I feel your pain with the washer. The bearings on ours went last year. It was so loud!
What a sweet life 🙏🏻💗🌿
This is indeed very heartwarming and very wonderful and the house is so beautiful and this brings back such great memories of when I use to be a 90s kid and an early 2000s kid and I am a new subscriber as well:).
“Working” on feeding the baby lol. I’m with you with the production level around here 😅
I’m snapping beans like a grandma while watching this :) howdy from Lancaster County 💖
I noticed your outfit first thing. Maybe it was the color but i love it. You sure do have a lot of clothes, even considering a few different sizes. I cant do that, i hate making choices & keeping things that organized. . LOL. I guess im a minimalist in the clothing dept. But your closet looked nice when you were done. I hope the plants do well, especially for the kids sakes. You can have Evvonie get some herbs when youre cooking, im sure she'll get a kick out of it. 👍❤️
I love infused water but for some reason my stomach cannot tolerate berry infused water. Thank you for sharing. Your family is so precious 💕
Currently making a large amount of oatmeal for breakfasts. And folding washing. Haha I'm also a mum with littlies a nearly 4 nearly 2 and due with number 3 in July. I so get you with getting tasks done. I live in the southern hemisphere so we're going into winter soon.
“I will remember that for next year” - famous last words. I say the same about my plants and then never ever remember 😂😂😂 Hope you have better luck
I like the metal raised beds. My ILs bought us some wooden ones from Amazon last Christmas and I can see the wood contract and expand here in MI.
Love this video. 😊❤
Im painting shelves in my pantry, cleaning n organizing it also😄
Love all you accomplish! You are a wonder!
Loved this ❤ my dill reseeds in my raised bed . Zone 6
Nice seeing some real life with littles. I'm in a similar stage of life. 3 kids under 5
Love Fletcher and his wheelbarrow!
It's his favorite! He loves digging in the dirt so WIN! Thank-you Grandma!
@@MeganFoxUnlocked so sweet❤
I love going to Fashion Cents when we come to Lancaster❤
For the color block skirt, could you just sew a neutral triangle of fabric in the slit? That would make sure it wasn't too tight, but you could still wear it without having to layer.
For the planters, I've seen lots put logs at the bottom!
He looked so cute pushing his wheelbarrow.
Megan, what cook books do you have? I’d love a list! Thanks.
There’s something about having a hard working man!!! And I love mennonite culture for that reason. For the most part, work ethic is really important to us. Loved this vlog! I’m pregnant with my 3rd, due next month and don’t quite have the energy you have 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 CZcams, 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.
Great job
You should put a rain barrel next to your raised beds and the downspout.
The window of opportunity is closing here in Muskoka, May is a dash to get the yardwork done before all the bugs make it too hard to go outside
If you started a poshmark or eBay account (something along those lines) I would love to purchase some of your declutter dresses!! Not in a creepy way lol but I just love your style and would definitely purchase some of these items you’re decluttering!!
I LOVE Bill Peet books! Have you read his self illustrated autobiography?
