I have been a homemaker for 66 years!! Have 3 boys, 6 grandchildren, and 7 great grandchildren. I always prayed I would live to see my children grown and now I am even enjoying my great grandchildren. My prayer was indeed answered. Praise the Lord.

I agree with you! I always wanted to be a wife and mom. I had no desire to have a career or work outside the home. God is good! I’ve been married for 53. years, I have 4 kids, and 10 grandchildren! I’ve been a homemaker most of that time except when my husband went back to nursing school. I’ve loved every minute of it!

I have been a homemaker for 38 years. It is a wish (fulfilled) that I have cherished since I was 10 years old. I loved being home to watch each of my children grow and develop. I loved the dinner hour with everyone around the table. We have know entered into the season of grandchildren. Oh my, I am so much more relaxed with my grandchild's development and expressions of personality and temperament than I was as a young mom. And Megan is correct, be courageous enough to develop your own decorating style. Your house is about you not HGTV or IG. And thrifting is great! One woman's trash is another woman's treasure. 😉Besides, the really old decor has lasted because it is very well made! 🎉 Thank you, Megan for another great episode. 💖

41 years I’ve been doing this along with working. Don’t compare yourself to a friend, neighbor, or family. It’s your home, set up a system that will work for you.

A home is not a building, it’s a feeling! Wow, this is a nugget of truth!

I’ve been a homemaker for 5 years!! My husband and I are expecting our first TWO kids here soon!! Yep, twins ❤ I would say the biggest thing I’ve learned is that my house doesn’t have to look like a show home, relax and live in it!

Careful of gangstalkers, freemasons (secret society members), & doctors/medical/scientific/educational people. Being a twin has been a big time curse in my case. They ran our dad off, made him schizophrenic, then killed him. Then they ran our mom off too. She became a bipolar religious fanatic who disowned her children. They gave me a spinal tap against my mom's wishes when i was born but not my twin sister. I've been tormented with back problems, chronic pain & illnesses, depression, anxiety, suicidal tendencies because of it all. I'm doing better with my health finally but it took 4 decades & major lifestyle changes. Please keep them babies safe & protect them from all the evil in this world. Best wishes from me!

​@@greatestever8976that is the weirdest, most inappropriate thing to comment under a mom excited she's having twins. Trauma dumping under a comment like this is really gross and borderline evil.

Been homemaker for 46 years...4 kids and now 16 grands...love your points....you seem mature , don't think I was that mature when I was married 10 years😏😊...Blessings to you!

I've been a homemaker for 26 years next month. 1 apartment, 2 rental homes, 1 owned in the city, and 1 in the country. Married plus 7 children. Been an adventure!

Same here. 25 years and seven children! An adventure for sure!

I’ve been a homemaker for 9 years now and we had 5 kids in those years so I’m in the thick of this whole mom/homemaker journey. It’s not always easy but it’s so rewarding!

I have been a homemaker for 55 years and at 75 find myself with new challenges that others might relate to. I have to plan carefully to conserve my energy. Must break down projects. I have simplified my possessions for this reason. Laundry has to be done in smaller loads I can carry. Cooking for one also takes planning. Inviting people in to avoid isolation is wise but again the energy issue. Loving my small place and accepting it’s quirks, as you said, is important. And being very grateful for the time I can now spend with the Lord. Blessings

Homemaker for 6 years. No kiddos yet. But by God's grace, my dream is to one day be a stay at home mommy and homemaker!

I’ve been a homemaker for almost 32 years! We have 2 boys now 24 and 27! I am grateful for everything God has given me. I am now in a wheelchair and my church family has been awesome in coming in to help! My house is not kept as tidy as I used to but I’m blessed and content and thankful I can use pickup or delivery for groceries now. Love listening to your podcast with your cousin too!

I have been a homemaker for 9 years! I'm a mom of 2 children. You have encouraged me to involve them more in whatever I do.

Been a homemaker for about a year now. I'm very much still learning😅 which is fine. My husband trusts me alot which I'm thankful for. He gave me full control of meals but isn't afraid to make a dinner if I have to work late although he said he needs a ten page recipe just to make sure he gets it right😂 I've been so thankful being a part of a Christian household where I feel valued as a homemaker and my husband is always so supportive even if I mess things up. We are growing together and trusting that God knows where we will be years from now. Thank you for your advice it was very helpful to know more options to try and see if it fits me.

Everything you cook and bake always looks so delicious right down to the drinks. I love how wholesome and modest your channel is.

Congratulations on your anniversary! May you enjoy many more years of happiness. You have helped me SO much! You see, I'm not a homemaker per se, but I am in charge of my office in every way: prepare meetings, take care of the team, scheduling, housekeeping when to buy what, who's coming when, who has an issue that they want to discuss, everything comes down to me having to figure it out. Your advice has made all the difference for me to be able to create a working space that looks beautiful and feels welcoming and nice. People enjoy visiting, they comment on how well they're treated and the nice treats they get when they're here (lovely spaces, good food, good treatment), and a lot of that has come from the inspiration I get from you. So really, thank you for helping me make a stressful work space feel like home!

This is so sweet. I have been running a household for 31 years now. My youngest is 18, and the only one still at home. Life is full of changes... Hearing your perspectiv made me think on mine. And i needed that. Have a blessed day

I've been a homemaker for almost 18 years and have 4 kids ranging from age 14 down to 2. I loved all your advice, Megan. Thanks for all the encouragement! 😊

In August it will be 42 years that I will be a homemaker. What I learned was to pick your battles. Quite a cliche but true. Make lists. Be prepared to bend. Your house doesn't have to match.

6 years! Your comment about decluttering being a high cracked me up, I get so excited about decluttering too 😂 the working with the kids under foot lesson is a hard one for me but something I probably need to be better at implementing. Thanks Megan!

Love this series! Please keep adding to it. Young homemakers like me need all the help we can get!

Homemaker for 8 years with 4 babies!! Couldn’t imagine doing anything else. ❤

1. Enjoy the quirks of your own home. 2. Schedule your priorities. Don't prioritize your schedule. (

Hi Megan, loved all of you tips. Was able to get the dishes washed and put away as I was listening to your video! Thank you for the motivation. God bless!

I’ve been a home maker for 44 years three adult children and eight grandchildren two great grandbabies good advice we’ve did it all. Have a blessed Thursday afternoon.❤

I've been a Homemaker for 16 years this year and a mom for the last 4 of those years. Love your videos & happy anniversary 🎉

When I first moved out of my parents house, I was very eager to prove to everyone that I can take care of myself and do everything by myself 😂 Now, 20 years later, I have no problem calling my mom, or anyone else to ask for help or advice. I guess now I know better how much I still don't know. Also, the wise people in our lives are not getting any younger, so we better ask all the questions we can while they're here ❤

I have been a homemaker now for a little over 2 years. I have a 10 month old son. This video was encouraging to me. Thank you!

Love being a homemaker so much! (36years) I’m an empty nester/young grandma…but still get such satisfaction from being a keeper at home! All of your tips are very wise!

47 years a homemaker. Nobody worries about 'whats for dinner' as much as you do. Its not so much what is on the table as it is who is at the table. Eating meals together as a family is important as it is a time to connect and talk about each family members day. You are more abt to forget what you ate than the conversations you had!

Ive been a homemaker for 17 years! I have a very much long prayed for 6 year old, and I Love home making. And I always love your channel. It gets me all inspired each time. ❤ I’ve learned that it’s a real joy robber to compare my home and decor with the next persons. We all shine in different places!

This video is GREAT!!💜 So many good tips that I wholeheartedly agree with and do my best to incorporate in my own home! I've been a mother for 12 years, a wife AND mother for 6 years, and a homemaker for 5 years. I know the timeline is kiiinda crazy... it's a long story. I grew up in a large family with my mom being a homemaker, so I feel like, even though I've only had my own home for 5 years, between growing up with a homemaker and then being a mother for 12 years, I've got at least 10 years of homemaking in my life.😂 I love the challenges and the blessings of the homemaking life.💜 Happy Anniversary to you and Josh!!🥰💐

I listened to this while organizing art/craft supplies and trying to declutter our small house. Perfect timing! Our house is small, but we are blessed to own a nice home for practically nothing in this economy so I’m spending my time trying to organize the small space we have. I have been a homemaker for 15 years!

I LOVE decluttering, even after 44 years of homemaking. You are right, it IS such a high to bag up unused and unloved clothing, decor, dishes, and all things unneeded. It's as good as feeling to declutter as when you spring clean (does anyone do that anymore? LOL ). Thank you for all the videos you share of your life, Megan! You are such a breath of fresh air and watching them takes me back to the days in my marriage/life/home when I was your age and doing all these things you are now doing. Know you are appreciated and loved! ♥

Yay best video of the week. I have been a homemaker for 15 y and have 6 kids but I love your energy.

I have worked from home when my kids were little the first 10 and outside the home during the last 10 years. My kids are 18 and 19. I'm just now starting to realize why our house so easily gets out of hand. Too much stuff! I've been throwing away and giving things away this summer in an effort to declutter, especially as my kids are heading into adulthood. My goal this year is "A place for everything and everything in its place". Easier said than done but I'm working on it! We keep a lot of stuff...good to let go sometimes.

Happy Anniversary! I enjoyed listening to this as I was doing some cleaning up. I've been married and a homemaker for 18 years, no children but have been full time at home for 7 or 8 years. I love it! I'm with you on the grocery shopping thing......I like to do my own, and snag those "secret" deals and marked down items. They make suggestions for stuff you don't need on the apps too....buying stuff you don't need is just a discipline. People purchase many "extras" in their online shopping too. But I do understand that some people just like to have someone else do their shopping....I just don't think that particular reason is super valid. 🤷🏻‍♀😊

Hi! I've been a homemaker 11 years, 3 homes, and 4 kids. Love it! But still so much to learn. Thank you for your encouragement.

Happy Anniversary guys!❤ Thanks for the video! I love all the videos but the homemaking/vlog ones are my personal favs. I'm fairly new to it all. I'm a 2nd year homeowner and first time mom with a 1 year old 😅 appreciate the advice and modivations!

Oh my what a touching & important post you made today & I even learned something new!! I've been a homemaker for 29 years & now a empty nester but ENJOY , You and your adventures.

I love your chats and your videos are edited beautifully 🧡 I've been a homemaker for 18 years in the same home! I was once at the point of "burning my home down" 🤣 You're so right with all your tips!

Happy Anniversary! I totally agree with you about working while your kids are up and around. Not only do they learn _how_ to work, they learn that work pretty much never ends. They learn reality.

Oh Megan you are just so sweet! Tbh I was almost intimidated to click this video cuz I feel like I just can’t get my life together lately (and I only have one baby so far who is currently 18 months). But you are just so fun and honest and real and I definitely look up to you in how to be a better homemaker. Sometimes idk how you do it! I welcome any more videos on how you implement certain rhythms in your week! And happy anniversary to you guys. 💛

Hi Megan! I’ve been a homemaker for 39 years. I raised 8 children 3 boys and 5 girls, 11 grandchildren. We live in Arizona. I liked your video on your Arizona trip. I like watching your videos can’t seem to shake the old life of homemade and raising kids. I went by way to fast.

Great video thanks for sharing. Learn a lot from your videos. I’ve been in my home for 13 years. But was a homemaker for 25 yrs.

Megan I am SO excited to watch this! This is my favorite part of Thursdays! Happy anniversary girl! 💖🙏

I haven’t even gotten through the intro yet, but I just wanted to say that after 4 years of being a weekly viewer (maybe 5? I can’t remember how long, but Evonnie was teeny when I first subscribed😅) that I still look forward to your videos every Thursday. You continue to be a refreshing, God-glorifying, relatable, tasteful, beautiful presence in an increasingly dark and anti-Christian world & internet. I love your videos and selfishly hope you never stop putting them out. You’re awesome, Megan❤

Loved it! I found so much inspiration in for the "little" things and I greatly appreciate your talk! We'll be married 3 1/2 years on August 1st and so its been a lovely 3 years of being a homemaker! Nothing give sme greater joy😁

Hi Megan, Happy 10th anniversary! I love watching your videos! Your family is beautiful!! When you mentioned about talking to your mother and mother-in-law for suggestiions of family recipes, etc... It reminded me of myself doing the same thing. I remember having my extended family over for a meal and my late grandmother calling her sister (right from the dining room)telling her my matzo balls were not too good. After that, I was determined to find a good recipe that was better and have used it ever since and shared it with our children. Most of my grandmother's recipes were never written down. She just eyeballed ingredients without measuriing. I do have some of her recipes that my Mom measured everything my Grandmother was doing prior to cooking or baking, but my Grandmother Reba was not too patient. My husband and I are going to be married for 😊50 years in a few months. We have experienced many ups and downs through the years, but our love and faith have helped us get through the rough spots. Wishing you and your family only the best!! ❤

Thank You Megan - This is great advice - I need to clean out areas closets and drawers - way way over due - I just keep putting it at the bottom of my to do list ! Just start small at it - great idea ❤️

I absolutely LOVE being a homemaker and definitely feel blessed to be able to be at home with our kiddos. Working at blessing my family is such a joy. I’ve been a homemaker for 7 years and a mama for 6 years. So much grace needed in these seasons😃. I’ve also come to learn that my worth in Christ does not depend on the state of my home or the quality of my meals. Creating a God centred home and opportunity for family time around the table or doing projects together is WAY more rewarding. ❤ Blessings from Saskatchewan Canada.

The earliest I have been for a video! I’ve been looking forward to it all day.

I've been at home exclusively for just 7 months now, I'm certainly struggling with a keeping clean house, organizing my life and a new baby, but I've gotten so many fresh ideas from Megan!

Our 10 year anniversary is coming up on August 31! Now we have two girls. Thankfully they love to help me out with everything!

You have no idea how much this video helped me!!! Thank you for sharing this content, and may God bless you and your family! ❤️

I liked this opening! That the music matched what comes when your logo pops up. 😁

yay ! I forgot it was Thursday until just now. Love fun surprises !!!!!

This is so encouraging. Homemaking for 7 years and just had our 4th baby. Thanks for these wonderful tips!

My husband would totally agree with u Megan. “Mother setting the mood of the home” I’m homemaking for nearly 25 yrs now got four kids 21, 19, 16 & 14. And I’m a childminder to many others😊and I love it. Always doing housework around them. A lot slower but they join in and we make it fun. They cry to stay when mum comes to collect them so they must enjoy it. Megan I love your videos. Look forward to them so much. So practical and down to earth. Keep up the hard work. Greetings from Ireland

I been a home maker for 9 years! Time is flying! And alot has changed. Ive learned alot along the way and ive learned to get the job done but also let little things go. I love love love routines however with growing children it shifts routines alot! I love watching your channel it keeps me motivated in my walk as a mother and wife and home maker. We need more people in the world like you. ❤️

11 years! 5 of those for half the year in a camper on the road and I learned you can get by with very little! You are a great homemaker Megan❤ and most of all you enjoy it, I’m still learning that part.

Love this! You are so inspirational even to me as a teenager!

Been homemaker since 2008 and I am now learning tips from you!! :) I didn't have a mom to teach me so I'm a work in progress ;)

Congratulations! It’ll be 10 years for us this year as well in October 😊

This is very wonderful advice! I have 31 years of experience so far, and I wish I would have embraced so of these tips earlier in the journey! 😊

I’ve been a homemaker for a year and a half! I say that amount because I was working while pregnant and wasn’t as committed to the art as I am now. I’m struggling to get everything done with an active baby but your tip to do the cleaning with her around was very helpful, thank you!

Happy Anniversary to you and Josh!!! My hubby and I celebrated our 33rd anniversary in May. We have a 31 year old son with Autism, who still lives with us (and no plans to change that). Our first apartment was nice, but we bought all used furniture since we were a military couple on a budget. The kitchen table was $10 at a garage sale- the 4 chairs actually 'reclined' 🤣. After 8 years we bought our one and only home that we still live in after almost 25 years. It had new carpet and linoleum that I swear was 5 cents/square yard- so cheap!! After 15 years we now have our forever home & being in FL we are getting our dream pool next. ☺️

Almost 44 years as a wife/homemaker. We have 2 sons and 6 grandchildren. I have learned over the years that I couldn't cook from the beginning and I still can't cook. It's not my thing!! I try and I do it but I don't enjoy it. I worked full time outside the home for 36 years so it was tough coming home cooking, laundry, cooking, spending quality time with my kids. But outside of working, I devoted all my time to my sons which left very little time for myself. They are grown now and I am retired so trying to adjust to more free time. All your tips are great. I sure could have used a lot of video/social media type help back in the day. Thank you for your ideas and Happy Anniversary!! Blessings on your special day and may God shower you with many more years together!!

I actually used to live in the panhandle of Oklahoma and i loved the mennonite people and i am so glad you made this channel you guys are the greatest people!!❤❤

I've been a homemaker for 54 years. Two kids, a boy and a girl, 8 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren and another great on the way at the end of July. Our home does not have the show room look and never wanted it that way/ It looks like someone lives in this house. I am in the process of decluttering due to my husband's health. Have made three trips to Goodwill and working on making a couple more in the next week or so.

Good for you for decluttering! I need to do more of that myself. It might be easier to put things out by the street with a free sign. Then your neighbors would get free stuff instead of having to pay for it! Goodwill is now a for-profit business, not a charity.

I'm not a homemaker, but I am convinced that having children involved in the household tasks from an early age is key to my sanity and to their learning as well! My daughter is only 23 months, but she loves baking/cooking with me and can also "help" clean bathrooms, unload the dishwasher, etc. I also prioritize my own rest during her naptimes, so having her work with me is essential at this stage!

Homemaking for 46 years. 2 grown sons and 5 wonderful grandkids. Thank You for your homemaking series.

Just celebrated our 58th wedding anniversary. Have been a stay at home mom most of these years loved caring for my home and still do cooking isn’t something I like. Love yourchannel

Wow, I just de-clutteted my dry sink and turned it into a coffee bar and put out my special coffee cups. I decorate the way you do, cozy, my dining room is a closet, my bedroom was the small connecting livingroom, we also have a large one.

You are a great teacher, it definitely shows, thank you ❤

Thanks Megan!❤

WOW! 46 years! I had to check that twice, feels like yesterday! I take the time everyday, to be grateful! -SANDY -

I've been a wife/homemaker for 2 years on Monday😁 thank you for sharing your tips and wisdom.

I’ve been a homemaker since 2021 since my first daughter was born. I have a 2 year old girl and a 1 year old girl and a little boy on the way who will be here in November 😅❤ I love what I do. I have been struggling today. Little baby boy kicks all through the night and keeps me awake so I enjoy the encouragement you offer! I do feel like you’re a big sister to me ❤

I've been a homemaker for 1 year this May and we just bought our first house. We were living in a little apartment and now we are moving in furniture and fixing up our house. I've been watching your videos for a couple of years and I always look forward to watching your videos. Happy anniversary 🎉

I've been a homemaker for 13 years .. this video was helpful and a good reminder about some things .

Heard this today from another KZread channel “Comparison is a thief of joy”. So true

Love being a homemaker but I'm an empty nester now. Our daughter graduated college and got married in May. But I'm happy to pass on all my knowledge to my daughter! I know she's going to be an incredible homemaker and teacher! She is super excited about new recipes....making things from scratch and all the organization things and she's already had her own cleaning and babysitting business. So she's already skilled and ready to go. 😊❤️

I've only been a homemaker for about a year with a 2 year and 1 year old. I've been struggling alot. Thank you for this ❤

Hey Megan. Yesterday was our 43rd anniversary. We have 2 sweet grandsons. I'm a fly by the seat of my pants kind of gal. It's funny how hearing that someone coming for a visit makes you put that work hat on and you tidy and clean so fast. I do have a hard time letting go of things. Excuse me while I go declutter. You are a smart cookie!!

Bought my first home in 2015 and been making home by myself since and have been a full time public school teacher entering my 21st year next month.

I've been a homemaker for almost 30 years. I was married for 2 years before our son was born and then was blessed with three daughters after him. I've always worked outside the home and at times felt overwhelmed by all the things I had to do with being a wife,a Mom, having an outside job, and being a homemaker. When I poured out my heart to God,He gave me a desire to be a homemaker and love the roles that I needed to fulfill and I'm thankful for that. Your advice is indeed encouraging, since I still have two daughters in high school. I've learned to enjoy my home and the care I give my family...When I see your videos sometimes I long for those days when my children were as young as yours. Those days were challenging, but sweet at the same time. I still get stuck in the mindset that my home must be perfectly clean and organized, but I'm learning that the memories we create with our family is more important. Thanks for sharing what you've learned and how you approach the many roles youlive out daily...❤😊

Great video - very helpful! Not sure if someone already said this but I will say some grocery stores such as Publix do have a section where you can shop in the app for the items on sale and still do pick up. That way you can blend the convenience of staying in your vehicle and still use the method your mother taught you buy meal planning based on what’s on sale for a good price.

Genius! Wish we had a Publix but there you go! Thanks!

Have been a homemaker for 25 years; during this time, it had to diversify a lot because it had to incorporate many new diets, green cleaning, kids (3; all girls, twins and an older one) growing up, and moving out just being open to changes is so important because life does that, everything needs to be different every so often. Being creative makes home special, especially as things change up

Happy Anniversary!! It’s our’s too today ….. a lot longer than you 49 years. Wow, that sounds like a long time when you write it down. Started in Lititz and now in SC retired near our daughters.

We just celebrated our 10 year anniversary in April 🎉 I absolutely agree with your tip about getting housework done with the kids around. As a homeschooling mama of 5 kids under 8 years old, cooking and cleaning with the kids underfoot is essential. If I tried to squeeze all of that work into naptime/quiet time, I would be a wreck by the end of the day! Mamas deserve a break to rest and reset during the day too 😊

50 years. I knew NOTHING when I started but I quickly learned. With 4 kids and 7 grandchildren I only want dishes that go in the dishwasher, couches with covers that can be washed and board games. Lots of games. Makes life so fun!

I’ve been a homemaker for more than 50+ years. You have a good head on your shoulders!

i wish this video would have kept going for two hours 😢 😅 LOVE everything you said

10 years just like you 🎉 happy anniversary.

I’ve been a home maker for almost 10 years now! My husband and I have 4 kids aged 8, 6, 3 and almost 9 months! I absolutely love being a homemaker and learning new things daily. Even after almost 10 years I’m learning! 🙌🏽

I loved this one!

I’ve been a homemaker for 10 years since June. We have 1 boy and 3 girls. I really enjoy watching your videos💞

Homemakers are so so important!!

You made me remember my 10th anniversary. We went back to Toledo to celebrate with our first friends in US who helped us settle in US & who celebrated our first anniversary & welcomed our first baby a month later! Now we have celebrated 57 years this year!♥️♥️💐🎉 Happy Anniversary to you both! Blessings for the next ten!

I just love your videos, Megan! Thank you for sharing your home, modest wardrobe, and love of Christ with us mamas! You are so much more productive and energetic than I am 😛 that I have to ask - what time do you go to bed at night? Wake in the AM? (I'm thinking I need to get a stricter with my own bedtime.)
