My husband and I learned early on that "If you do all the regular stuff, the extra stuff doesn't get done. If you do all the extra stuff, you don't get the regular stuff done". I think we have to find a long term balance, as in over a week or month, not daily.

Who disliked??? 😳😭 I know people have opinions but I wish KZread did not have a dislike button. Don't be a bully. Your an amazing wife and mother.

Learning as I go I don't know what the big deal is with people getting so worked up about dislikes. Disliking a video is not the same as bullying.

I didn't dislike the video but I will dislike your comment if you use the wrong your one more time

"I'm going to be in this stage of life for a long time, I might as well enjoy it" That is what I needed to hear this morning! Struggling with this stage of my life in grad school, but this morning I will praise God that I got the day off from work to write my paper and get cozy with a cup of tea and my favorite candle while I type. Thank you!

Dont be so hard on yourself. The dust bunnies will always be there. Enjoy the babies they grow up so fast. I'm a grandma and mom of 2 boys!

Congratulations on 70k! I remember almost a year ago when you reached 7k how you said maybe someday I will be at 70k! So happy for you! Love from a Christian channel❤️

Megan Fox Unlocked I can completely understand why you said that though, I feel like that most of the time. :(

I've found that if I threw a load of laundry first thing and then do devotions/quiet time. When it's time to put stuff in the dryer, I used that time to reflect on what I read and/or pray. it's great that you're able to spend so much time with your children....I was a single mom and always felt that there was never enough time (had to work full time while going to college full time) and had no help from family. Enjoy your time while your children are at such an amazing stage...it goes way too fast and yes, you will miss having them at home, even though it probably seems lime it would be heaven now!!

Love love love your design for living room, makes me want to redo our living room! Very inspiring thanks for sharing!

I love a monday morning vlog! I’m not a mom yet but i enjoy seeing how different moms go about daily life and mom life. I always enjoy your videos. Bless you!

Love your sunroom, and the new lenses! Great encouragement as always 💕 Excellent vlog!

Your energy is amazing! ❤️

Absolutely, you do well in each area and you do live an intentional life. I feel like every video is organic and inclusive because you always tell us ways some things would help us too.

Thank you for sharing your life this way. I admire how you integrate faith into your family’s life. And I love the prayer!

Love the long vlog style video!!! I am so in the trenches with you, girl! I liked the conversation about compartmentalizing time and tasks. I need to be better about making playtime its own thing ....I'm almost always multitasking when playing with the kids. And like you said I'm not doing either well when I'm doing that! Thanks! Keep videos like this coming!

So awesome to see the progress on your house! Love seeing the little updates in all your videos

It's so nice to have a video that's relatable. SAHM to 6 children under 10 and I have found myself trying all sorts of different routines to try to find the right balance in my current season of life.

You are doing a great job. From a mom with grown children, always take time for them. I know you hear it from everyone, but they grow and are gone so quickly. Thank you for sharing with us.

I love the idea of taking time for specific projects and chores! Thanks for sharing! I found it encouraging!

I am in love with your sunroom. The plants are a lovely touch

I'm in a different stage of life but think you're doing an amazing job! Yesssss, BALANCE IS KEY...I was a single Mom and had a few part time jobs so I could be home for my son. Situations differ, we all just do our best and forge ahead.

This is my new favorite channel on KZread! So glad I found you!! I admire your lifestyle and I’m so excited to learn so much from you!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Amen enjoy your day, and dont stress over the small things. God is great.

Always nice watching you with my coffee 😊. Evonnie & Fletcher are so sweet 💜💙 Josh doesn't say much but when he does...instant classic! (I look like the same great guy👍🏻)

Loved, loved this!! Thanks Megan :) I am in a different stage of life (teenage kids), however, I work full time again and still try to maintain everything like I did when I was a stay at home/work from home mom. It really resonated with me when you said you need to be in each moment. I tend to try do everything at all times and end up going through the motions and not being in the moment. I will definitely try to be present, especially when I am with my kids.

You are adorable. You have a beautiful family! I was glad to hear you keep evenings for family and hubby time. A young couple in our church had been married for 9 months and “he” got sick over the weekend. He ended up at the emergency room Sunday morning and by Sunday night he was gone!!! We all were reeling with shock and sadness!! That was 4 years ago and the young lady has not even tried to move on in terms of relationship. My heart breaks for her. She is an amazing girl and I pray for her and her future. Not meaning to drag anyone down, I tell her story to other young couples so they don’t take each other for granted. You are precious and I like your vlogs!

My favorite youtuber!!! I love what you said about being present and not rushing though the busyness. I’m in college right now and I’m just ready for classes to be done!!! But this is life and I don’t want to miss out on being present and intentional

That was a fun video to watch! Very relatable! Inspiring! Informative! Entertaining! Thanks!

First off, you look really cute in a ball cap. This is my all time favorite channel. You are doing a good job living life. Thanks for taking us along.😊

Love your videos and bonus ones on Mondays are the best! My husband also owns a construction company and we built a house (still not finished, your own projects are always last) and married just 6 months. His family runs a hunting operation and his current job is 90min away, I've been struggling with feeling so behind with house stuff between a full time job and hunting season (we guide & cook 2 meals a day) so these videos are so great! Time and place for everything, the mess will still be here once hunting is done. Just remember you are only 1 person

I really enjoyed this vlog, your living room inspiration is beautiful! I love the Art Deco wall idea ❤️

I have a similar tripod. I love it! Loved seeing part of your day, Megan! Your new home is beautiful! 😊 You’re such an encouragement...you do such a great job with your little ones. 💕

I absolutely love listening to you talk!! Amazing channel 😍

This was such a good video for me today. I am struggling with “doing it all” today. On a side note your husband is hilarious 😂 “I look like the same dude, you look like the same gal.”

Ohhhh my gosh, Evonnie saying her prayers was toooooo cute! 🙏🏻❤️

I absolutely love your channel! I'm a stay at home mom of a 11 month old and I really enjoy getting motivation and tips from your channel💖

I love your vlogs,especially your remodeling progress and decor designing! I can relate to trying to figure out the dynamics of juggling ALL the things that need to be done plus doing things you enjoy as well...also the struggle to wrap everything up in the evening and yet have time to sit down with your husband and children is very real! One thing that has helped me,is taking care of my family well,(truly is my hearts desire) and if I meet my little one's needs first everything else goes a lot smoother!!But it is a challenge because of me wanting to do everything as fast and efficient as possible!Be encouraged in your journey!❤Momma to 6 in eight years....

Oh my goodness that little prayer was the cutest thing ever. She's precious.

Oh thanks for the video Megan. I really admire ur strength and lately daily life has been such a struggle for me. Balance is pretty hard and my stress level has been high lately... but I push forward and keep trying to work on things.. I really love podcasts: that has been extremely helpful to me lately

You are a super Mom! Give yourself small amounts of time to do things that energize you, like that wonderful walk. Love your channel❤️

You are such an incredible mom & wife!

My daughters are teenagers and I miss those days when they were toddlers. I was a single mother, working full time, so you are blessed to be able to spend so much time with your babies.

Whew! I’m exhausted just watching your energetic self. You are a fabulous wife, mother and keeper of your home. When my son was little, he went down for bed and I sat down. 😂

Always great to see your vlogs! I can so relate to the busyness of you life! I am in the unusual situation of marrying 19 months ago ( I was 49 and never married before and no children). Now I have two children which I love and I feel very busy. My husband has his own business and I work outside the home as well. I was struggling with not being able to get it all done too but my husband said, "when you realise that it is not possible to get it all done, then you will begin to relax ". He was so right. He was widower and while his first wife was sick he took care of all the domestic tasks so he was speaking from experience. I also have a rule that I try to keep which is to spend time with the kids in the evening rather than keep working around the house. Thanks for sharing your life with us. I think you are wonderful and a great mum.

I really enjoyed this vlog Megan. Thank you. Love to see you guys work at the house. Somebody said that you never get tired watching people work... And I find it true.

Your new stuff is great. I can definitely tell a difference between the first part vs the second part of the video. 💗

I loved this video! And....I think you're doing a great job!

You have a great perspective of things! And as kids get older or you add more babies the season and schedule is ever changing and evolving. I’ve got 3 kiddos (age 2, 3 and 5) and I remember the season your in! It’s hard but also so fun because you still can do walks and projects for yourself. Enjoy them! Always keep your priorities God first, then your husband, kiddos and then everything else. Love you and your videos!

Hi Megan. I enjoyed following you through your two days. I think you’re doing a great job wearing all your different hats. The plants turned out great and look so nice in your sunroom. I’m so excited to see your living room when you get finished. Your children are precious. I loved your daughters bedtime prayer, so sweet!

You are doing a great job! You are a wonderful Mom!

You spending time with your little girl was so sweet❤

I just love your channel, Megan! I, too, am a mom with a two year old and identify with life/work balance. I just try to take one day at at time and do what I can; I try not to get down on myself if I don't finish my to-do list.

Great persistence in getting the job done! Also, I love the idea of using the dressing mixer for the "gravy paste" (we call the mixture a slurry) and I'm going to use it the next time. Thanks for sharing and have a nice day!!

I'm just here watching you and remembering when I was younger with my mommy. She grew me right and you too are so similar so u kno ur doing right dear. God bless u guys.

You seem to have great balance to your day. That sweet little prayer was precious.

This was my favorite video from you yet! Job well done. :)

Don't be so hard on yourself, you are doing a great job, great mom, wife and I am sure you are a good friend as well.. don't stress about doing everything in one day, prioritize. Its ok to take a day!

Fairly new subscriber, and I enjoy your personality so much! You have a beautiful family and I wish you all the best. Can’t wait to see your new videos each week.

“Caring for my family and caring for my marriage…” so well said!

Congrats on 70k Megan!! 💕

Your city is so beautiful, also thankyou for the long video. Greatly appreciated

Love THIS VLOG!!!!! 😊😊

I think you had great balance with work and family time. Plenty of fresh air aswell. There are so many beautiful walks you go on :) I think it's perfectly normal for you to feel too busy right now, you have a lot of work going on in the house but it will be worth it, once it's all done you can relax and enjoy a beautiful room, better to spend time getting it right than rush through and have regrets later. The paint colour is lovely, we have something similar in our kitchen. I'm really looking forward to January when we get to see the finished project. Keep up the good work you are doing brilliantly as a mother, and a wife. :)

Meagan! Your doing great as a wife and a mother, the most important thing is that it's ok not to get everything done in the evening time. It's a balance just remember time with your husband and kids in the evening is a blessing! Take advantage when your husband home to spend time with him

Oh my goodness. That sweet little voice of Evonnie's. That cap looks cute on you, Megan. Enjoy your kids while you can. If you don't you will regret it. I promise. Getting your sleep at night (and waking up refreshed, ready to roll) is much more important than getting the housework done. You have to do what works for YOU. TYFS. You, Josh, and the kids, add such joy to my life.

just been enjoying your video while I sort out and clean my new kitchen. somehow it's easier to get the housework done when you are working alongside me 😄 greetings from England

Awesome vlog.. You're a truly amazing woman. Thank you for inspiring. God bless you and your family.

You are a joy to watch! 🤗 I’m not a “young” Mom but about to be a Mom of three, two of which will be under two for a time. Anyway, thank you for being such an inspiration.

I loved this video! You are an awesome mom and wife!

I think you are doing really well Megan. God bless you all xx

What a great mom she is .....I wish i find a girl like her . She is great , So much energy and a great smile . Cheers from Canada .

Megan Fox Unlocked I don’t know how you manage it. It has taken me two weeks to get my video edited😱. I’m crossing my fingers for getting it out today. It’s hard with little ones. Well done you x

I like what you said about mom time & children time. Sometimes we NEED to remind ourselves to think about and focus on the task at hand and not worry about other things when the time slot is alotted to a specific task like the mom time and child time. Otherwise we may not do a good job. 👍 The struggle is real! Stay focused!

You are such an amazing Mom 🥰

Oh goodness, you weren't kidding about the cuteness alert! I think just being aware about wanting to find balance helps a lot. The small fact that you weren't stressing about the occasional McDonald's meal says a lot. Things happens! Seems like you're on a good path🍃🍂love love fall too. Best wishes from Va.🍁

Loved the video. Your new lense doesn’t make your forehead look distorted, the picture is great. I can’t wait to see what your room will look like. I loved seeing your decorating board. Also where you live and the countryside is gorgeous. Your daughter’s prayer was soooo sweet.

I’m new to your channel and I’ve been catching up on a lot of your videos and there is deff a huge difference! Super exciting for you to have amazing equipment!! I’m also the same way in evenings. My husband works and isn’t home till 5:30 and I would love to be able to sit and relax w him but I’m still doing things I didn’t do during the day.

It's so nice to find someone else who is in a similar life phase! I don't have children, but have been blessed to now become a full time homemaker, and have much to learn. I thought it would be so much easier not having to work outside the home, but really, even without children, there is more to do here than ever at my desk job! Thinking about the purpose behind the least enjoyable chores helps, as well as being mindful of how grateful I am to even be in this position. It really is a struggle to balance things, and I appreciate you sharing that and being so honest about your thoughts. It's reminded me I need to keep leaning into grace to feel less stressed about getting it all done. It will always be a work in progress I think, perhaps it is hard for us to accept. It is tempting to think if I just figure out the best routine, everything will finally just work out smoothly. It helps for sure, but there will always be new challenges and reasons that change our routines anyways it's ok. Thank you for inspiring me to not only keep working and improving things, but also for making me put some thought into the pressure we place on ourselves. Smiles from Ohio! :)

I'm a new subscriber. I truly appreciate how genuine you are and that your videos aren't staged. I can't stand the staging! ❤

Megan! I'm so happy I found your channel! God works in mysterious ways 😉 my son is 15 month old and I am in the trenches too. I find myself getting overwhelmed often. The subject of the sermon at our church on Sunday was being patient and grateful in suffering. I really needed to hear you say that you needed to have a better attitude about where you're at and improve your happiness. ❤️

Great vlog!! It seems to me that you have things in order for what works for you. You are how God designed us!! Great job lil momma!

That season of my life is over however im enjoying watching my daughters raise their families and go through the trenches.

We have the same stroller!! Lol You’re literally a super mom! I love your videos so much.

I can't wait to see your reveal video of your living room! 😀

How about that beautiful patio!!! *swoon* her bebes beautiful copper hair is to die for. I grew up in an area VERY close to Lancaster PA. I'm so grateful for these videos. I love that you show so many different avenues of Mennonite culture. It's important for the people outside ouf any culture to see inside another, and you're doing and amazing job allowing us to do that. You're a peach and that Amazon video is adorable.

Yes being a mom can be very time consuming. I remember those days. It can be tough and seems like it never gets done. God bless you as you try to balalnce it all.

Great video! I love and appreciate the work you put into your channel. You’re doing a fantastic job juggling everything, at least from my perspective. My kids are grown. My baby is a senior in HS. Watching you, takes me back to those hectic , almost overwhelming, but beautiful days of dirty faces and sticky kisses. I never felt like there were enough hours in the day. I truly cant wait to see your house after the remodel.

I loved seeing you on A Monday! Your energy is endless..... I think you are so hard on your self! You do an awesome job at all you do... At least what is in videos and I can't imagine you are acting. I for one, wish I could do a third of what you accomplish! Thank you for all your time and sharing your beautiful family!

I don't act at all, but I do have to admit, sometimes the scene behind me in a shot will look nice and tidy, but one room over there will be lots of clutter that I'm in the middle of tidying up and I make a point of keeping it out of the shot. So it's not a lie. . . buuuut.

I love the look of the old bldgs and cobbleston looking streets.. how fun!! Love ur smiles!❤🥰

I like the new lens as well as your video!

Love the video , Evonnie is so adorable love her cute chats , your children is beautiful. Big hugs from South-Africa 💕💕💕💕

I think you’re killin it! I’m in the same boat as you... working PT & raising 2 kids while my hubby works. I’ve learned that dishes can wait till the next morning, a robot vacuum helps BIG TIME and nap time for the kids means work time or work out time for me. If it doesn’t get done, you can do it tmrw. Time spent with the kids is more important than a spotless house. Don’t get me wrong, I clean, a lot, but there’s nothing wrong with leaving dishes till the next day, a messy car can wait and slowing down to be with the kids is wayyy more important. Plus a house reno is a great deal of work. Once it’s done, you’ll be able to slow down. God bless!

Thank you for vlogging while out for the two walks, so enjoyed the scenery in both. I like you find getting out for a walk revives me and I accomplish more when I get back home.This was a wonderful vlog. Enjoyed seeing how you compartmentalize your day. So important to invest in the lives of your husband and children. Maybe shorten your to do list, so you don't feel there are so many things to do. You need time to relax with Josh. Date night are important too . How wonderful you both are enjoying the marriage seminar.

Your "gravy paste" is actually called a "slurry".

My husband is of the exact same persuasion as yours regarding taping off to paint.... And is the best edge painter too... Works for me! 😂

Yes I agree some days it seems hard to get all the "to do list" done with little ones (I have 3 children), but I've come to the point that I do what I can on my to do list & after supper it's family time & will continue on the list the next day if I need to. I am right with you on spending time with children, house duties & planning fun outings! I am the same way I need my sleep! Hope you can figure out a schedule that works for you & your family! Maybe don't make your "to do list" so long, haha! 😉

With 6 children, and a HUGE farmhouse with 6 bedrooms 3.5 bathrooms etc I finally found a measure of peace when I learned the phrase, "Progress, not perfection" ~ hope that helps. Love that gravy recipe that's a dish that completely eluded me until I was in the UK and discovered Bisto.

Haha. Loved how you were demonstrating how you wanted the wall and he was just sitting there, probably telling you why it wouldn’t work😂 so typical and looks just like something my husband and I would do😂 also I think I need to adopt some of your ways to get some work done. It looks pretty well planned to me

I thoroughly enjoy your refreshing videos and learning about your Mennonite culture. I'm not religious at all, but am fascinated by how others choose to live their lives. Regarding the demands of motherhood, I hear you! I'm retired now, but I remember the sometimes frantic days of trying to get it all done when the kids were little. I was lucky to take 5 years to be home with them before they started school. I guess the only advice I have for moms is to not beat yourself up or compare yourself to others. Life is too short for that and the kids will be grown and gone before you know it. Spend the quality time with them now, just like you're doing, Megan. The rest will fall into place... if not on your time table, it will eventually! The dust in the corners or unfolded laundry can wait. The human beings can't!
