I love your 12 days of Christmas idea.
Have you thought of making it a Christmas printable for others? Having the character names, story for each, and the day stickers available to purchase as a kit.
I definitely would've purchased one this year.
It's a busy time of year. However let's all thank God for all the many people and things he's blessed us with. Let's all be thankful for the communities that bring us all together not just in person but online. Also thank him for Christian positive influences on social media and You Tube (such as Megan Fox) who bring people together in a positive way. 🤝✝️🌲
Amen - wonderful comment
I truly enjoyed this vlog! Thank you for keeping Christ in Christmas, People tend to forget the true meaning.
You're looking adorable and glowing. Don't overdo. I love seeing the babies helping. So sweet! Blessings!
I loved hearing you talk about keeping Christmas about the meaning and not the lights, Santa, etc. you advent story calendar is brilliant ! I do not celebrate the holiday, but I appreciate the effort in teaching your children it’s meaning and importance. Sometimes we can overwhelm our children and ourselves with too much decor. Merry Christmas!
@barbaraokin6507 are you a Jehovah's Witness? I'm just curious because Witnesses don't celebrate Christmas.
I think you can teach kids the true meaning of Christmas and still celebrate Santa. Santa represents giving. And it’s up to parents to teach kids that they can’t get everything they ask for and that Santa won’t either.
Megan I love your Advent story, what a great way of teaching the children the story. And oh my, Miller's face when you were making the cookies, so so adorable !!! Your DIY gifts & the wrapping look great. The idea with the ribbon as hangers is perfect! I'm so glad you're enjoying everything this season. Your house looks beautiful too. ❤
I love your Bible story idea! Evonie decorating her cookies was precious
❤
Love the cookies Evonnie decorated!🎄
Love your countdown way! A quote I like is If it weren't for Easter we'd have no Christmas ❤
You have so many great, cute ideas! ⭐
Thanks for sharing that song Megan, it’s beautiful. Praying for peace and health over your pregnancy. Merry Christmas 🎄
You have a talent for wrapping gifts. 🎁🙂 Merry Christmas to you and yours! 🎄
Love The Christmas videos Megan! ☺️
Yes Megan I love your Honey ai’m Homemaker series. SO NICE to see you include what you to with your children to bring out the TRUE meaning of Christmas in your 12 day activity. I enjoy your witness as a Mennonite - faith family and lots of fun and joy in your channel. You are a joy - so uplifting to watch your videos.
Miller's face when you were making the cookies so cute! Loved the green outfit on you. Definitely your colour. ❤
Megan, I just got the “Kids Can” journals in the mail this week, and I cannot wait to give them to my kiddos for Christmas! Hopefully I can order a planner for myself sometime. Love love love your stuff! ❤
Ty Megan. May your family have the merriest Christmas ever.
I’m so thrilled to hear you had a great ultrasound result! I’m one of, I’m sure, many of your followers who have prayed for you and your baby. Wishing you and your precious family a very blessed Christmas season! Best wishes from Eastern Canada! ⛄️
Megan would you please share your advent stories I would really enjoy how you are teach the kids.
Next time, just sub the missing egg for unsweetened applesauce or 2 tbsp water+1tsp oil 😊 totally been there too many times to count lol I made an entire muffin mix only to realize I had no milk 😂 so I used sour cream instead and omg they were BEST muffins I've ever made!
Love the background song about the real meaning of Christmas 👑
Love your dining chandelier decor!! SO unique!!
I truly enjoyed watching this video. I love to see how others prepare for Christmas, the wrapping
Of presents ( yours are beautifully done ), food and outings. Christmas is my favorite holiday and it was nice to see your video and all
The festive fun. Loved your friend gifts as well. Merry Christmas 🎄
Your nail polish colour matched the new numbers you printed and put on the advent little cans! So enjoyed the video..thank you
Ordered a planner yesterday 💚 Can't wait until it gets here!
Merry Christmas!! I look forward to your videos every week!! You inspire me!❤️
So glad that ultrasound results was a good report❤
I love your advent calendar/walk through the Christmas story idea. If you get the urge to film any of the times you do that with the kids I would love to see it!
I just LOVED ALL of this !!!! Merry Almost Christmas Megan!
I watch you on TV ...had to grab my phone to say this was so funny!! The needing one egg part! Had me laughing and I am the only one home...
Love your channel...😅😅💯
I love your planner , I’ve tried so many and always went back to a plain old notebook. But since I got yours I’m on my second one .
Love all your Christmas Vlogs- so fun and inspiring, and you can't beat a good diy! Such as festive greenhouse- I could easily spend all day shopping in there! May you and your family have a blessed Christmas.
And would you believe I didn't buy anything,
What a beautiful way to tell Xmas story
This video was entertaining-real life-and just plain wonderful! You made me laugh with all the craziness that may happen in our daily lives BUT we have to roll with the punches 😂 sometimes. You are STILL an inspiration in many aspects Megan. Just keep- on being YOU❤. Much Love to you ALL this Christmas 🎄from NC
Merry Christmas to you and yours! 💞
I’m glad I’m not the only one who’s kitchenaid shakes violently like that 😂 love this video! I’ve hung ornaments off my chandelier ever since seeing it in your video a few years ago!
Love your videos Megan. You are such a breath of fresh air! Merry almost Christmas to you too.
such good helpers you have!
Oh wow ! 💚❤️💚❤️ what a beautiful gift for your friends ! Lil boys in boxes...😂 nothing sweeter 🤗 I also have a wrapping station. Sooo nice
Beautiful gifts and wrapping. ❤
Ilove the brown, copperish ribbon. Great idea with rhe frame gifts.
Loved your ideas Megan . 😊❤️🙏
I love your Advent calendar. We all could use a more simple Christmas. Celebrating the real meaning
Megan, you are such a blessing, thank you! Praise God!
Megan, You are so very talented!
I love the idea of telling the story of Jesus coming to earth with sour patch kids haha. That's cute.
Happy 10 years of marriage!! In six months I'll be at 20 years (it's crazy. I feel like I'm still 20).
I still have to finish writing out Christmas cards but only for pen pals (friends and family are done).
Cute idea with all the frames for your Bible study friends.
I loved how you put up your hair while you worked on the frame project. I hope your health worries you have mentioned in your last vlog are gone and you are looking forward to happy Holidays. Sending you much love and blessings ❤
Awee i love the little flash card idea thats a wonderful idea youre such an inspiration to me i cant wait to see what youll come up with next God love you Megan!!
Thank you so much!
You my friend are amazing! I wish I had your energy! You look gorgeous! Continued Blessings!🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
I’ve been praying for you and your pregnancy ❤
I would love the recipe for the cookies 🍪, Merry Christmas to your family !
I love the green blouse and skirt. So beautiful!
Megan, I think you're too hard on yourself sometimes. You are going through so much right now. Who cares if you're wearing the same outfit. You're the only that notices. Be kind to yourself. You are an amazing humanbeing! Love your show! Take time for deep breaths momma, you've got this! 🙏 🩵🎄❄️
❤ You are so creative. Thank you for always sharing with us. Have a Merry Christmas. God bless❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love your outfit! Am going to go look at it online after your video!
Praising the Lord for your good ultrasound! You’ve been in my prayers. Enjoy all your family and friend gatherings. God bless y’all. 😀❤️
I loved the dress ( green ) dress you were wearing at the beginning of your video!
My 3 sections are before work, during lunch and after work. I am so excited about those calendars and I love the white wire section. I do write what I ate and drank and what vitamins and what I am working on big goal wise but I include that in those 3 segments. Then I write thankful and best part of day, like Today, this video😅
Wow! Perfect! Thanks for giving my planners a try!
Merry Christmas ✝️
Love your videos ❤
Thanks for being here! It means so much!
Megan, everything looks sooo good. Your gifts are wrapped so nicely. Your food is always out of a gourmet magazine. Your house looks amazing! Happy Holidays Hugs ❤
Definitely do mango in the dehydrator!! It’s the best! 🥳🙈
Megan thank you for making my day so much better! I just bought the ingredients for your butter and salt snack mix and I will be making that tonight for the first time! I am praying you and baby are healthy💖🙏💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
You will love it! And I appreciate all the prayers!
You look fabulous!!
Try dehydrating them it’s great it only takes hours not days. I do every fruit you can’t get during the seasons. Happy holidays
I just enjoy watching you do a lot of things . I remember those days of being so busy with three kids and doing things with them especially during the holidays. Just take care of you , I wouldn’t do that and I would get a bad cold. But those were the good days. Lots of good memories I’ve made with my kids , but especially now remembering thine things I did with my mom great memories, I won’t have my mom this Christmas I just lost her, it’s going to be a different Christmas four us all this but we will talk about crafting, baking, singing doing for others . Make lots of memories. I love all your outfits. Just be you and dress the way you want and makes you feel cozy and comfortable
That green outfit looked gorgeous on you!
Thank you very interesting love the out fit to .Merry christmas to you and you famiy may god bless you x
Love the little answered prayer notebook.
hey girl- loved the video! Oh so cool!😀😉🥰
Happy Birthday 🎊🎁🎉🎈 on the 15th !
Last night I ordered the middle sized Lancaster Cast Iron skillet for my husband for Christmas. We share the cooking. ❤
Megan you looked so great on your date. Love your style.
Megan I just found your channel. I am loving your days you share with us. Your gifts you made are beautiful. So many good ideas. I am trying to catch up with all of your stories. I am listening while doing my things here around my home. Have a wonderful day.❤
You always look great!
Loved it all especially keeping Christmas Christ centered! Many blessings and loved everything and the gift and talent you have with making everything you do special! Hope you had a Merry Christmas! ✝️🙏🏽🎄🎀💝🕯️
Those cookies look fantastic!
Hi megan i just wanted to tell you that i love ur videos soo much i was raised a mennonite and its beautiful to see you bring jesus into christmas for your kids the way u do..
The green outfit is so nice.
I love how you involve the kids in cooking/baking. I know it’s more work for you but you’re teaching them so much. I hope that your emotions have settled a bit since your last video.
Soo much more work!
Megan, i keep wanting to tell you to get some 2 to 3" circle punches, as i have seen you cutting out circles quite a few times. ❤ I love your videos❣️ and your advent calendar is awesome❣️
I have a cricut so I have no excuse!😆
You’re absolutely correct ; truth is stranger than fiction! You cannot make this stuff up.
I just love watching your videos you have beautiful ideas for gifts, so what if you were the same thing three or four times you look beautiful anyway is a very busy time of the year. See you in your next video. Have a blessed Thursday night.❤🌲
Your outfit is so cute you have great style
I use my crock pot to make my bone broth, I set it on low and let it go for 12-24 hours. A set it and forget it kind of thing. When it’s done, I just jar it and freeze it. It really works wonderfully!
Your video started just like my day...waiting for my car to be fixed. It died so close to home but, thankfully, my husband could come and tow me home! He is very mechanically inclined, so he could tell what happened to it. New Alternator and Battery for my car was needed. Have to say I love your videos and am watching this while it is snowing outside. I live in Alberta, Canada.
Look for coconut oil that says "refined" if you don't want it to taste like coconut! Refined coconut oil is also better for cooking because it has a higher smoke point. You can still get organic, it has just gone through a filtration process.
awesome video thanks for sharing
Hello Megan;
I think your outfits are lovely... they all always look great and the style, while yours, is still, to me, good!
Maybe you are a trend setter rather than a fashion follower?
Either way, you always look great! As does your whole family!
We tend to be minimal at Christmas time, however, we usually like to do the gift of sharing of time with family and friends... that way if we have not seen each other as much as we feel we would like, we top it up at Christmas!
I certainly enjoyed the trains at the flower centre... my Christmas treat if you will, so 'Thank You!'.
And to you and your whole family... wishes for a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful and Happy New Year!
I will take the time here to include your cousin Jayna and her family to, if I may...
Your 'Honey I;m Homemaker' sessions are a joy!
All the best to both of you and your families.
Take care
God Bless
Linda in Canada

Really lovely - so many fun memories you are making with your precious family. Just a note of caution in case you were not aware - both holly berries and the leaves can be an irritant to tender skin, but the berries are very toxic if ingested - children and pets are particularly sensitive.
Megan, I love your idea of the advent calendar... if Imay, Id ;love to borrow this idea... Thank you in advance... I love the idea of a real simple meaning to Christmas...I try to do this as much as possible. Folk have mislaid "christmas" and what it means ...Merry Christmas with love from Cornwall uk
I love your magnetic Nativity countdown. 12 days is such a good idea. It's much more doable.
What fun love watching others Christmas celebrations ! It’s super easy to make bone broth. Put your bones in your crock pot fill with water cook for 12 -24 hrs
Praying for a Christmas miracle to get car sorted. Hilarious
A tip I use when baking a cake is to use 1 tablespoon of vinegar substitute for an egg.
👵💜 I have been in a one egg fix where the egg rolled off the counter on to the floor.. All neighbors worked. Bundled all three children and off to the store. Two hours later, homemade cake.👵💜
Especially if you're going to be painting the frames anyway, thrift them! I have gotten awesome frames over the years dirt cheap. AND I LOVE HOW YOU DO YOUR ADVENT CALENDAR!
So cute! I love the new planners and love the neutral tones!!! 😍 and those cookies look delicious!
Yes to the dehydrating mangos, do it almost every mango season!
What is mango season in the states? Since we don't grow them when are they the best?
Megan I actually thought how great your looking in so many different outfits, I love them all but especially the green dress & jumper 👌.
I have to say you have the most cutest baby bumps ever!
I can imagine having so many gatherings and gift exchanges it gets incredibly expensive! I'm not a huge fan of decorating every square in of the house and need to squash as many bulbs as humanly possible on the roof 😂,I just think that people who do actually go to those lengths spend that much time putting everything up and constantly needing to check bulbs and positioning of Dec's, don't get to enjoy them through worrying if they look good for others to look at.
I'd rather have less and make them more personal & enjoy them.
Great set up with the wrapping station, you should have a wrapping party next year so everyone gets together,hot chocolate, snacks and all wrap while having a huge get together,it would be done in no time at all 😅.
Think positive with the pregnancy Megan and that everything will be fine,you seem to have gynae drs who worry you with all your pregnancy's,I know its best to play it safe but it must cause you so much stress and anxiety.
Great video and enjoy your weekend. Fingers crossed 🤞 it snows again 😊.
I enjoy your delightful channel! I would really like to know where you got the hanging lighted stars in your lovely home. They are stunning.
I'll link them in the description box!
I feel you with the outfit struggle! I’m also pregnant and my maternity clothes are all outdated but I refuse to buy more 😂 I basically wear the same type of thing every day.
Hi Megan ,I was wondering where your cute dog is while you're doing the videos.The only time we see her is when you take her on a walk
