My grandparents were Mennonite, I was raised Catholic, but left in my middle 20’s..My grandma wore a head covering to church and in public..she wore darker dresses and shoes. She was everything to me. Fifty years ago I accepted Jesus as my Savior and I can still remember the joy my grandmother felt. She knew that my relationship with Christ was more important than anything. She probably would have been happy to see me wearing head coverings, but never mentioned it. She was just happy to know that I loved the Lord and accepted His Gift of salvation. I greatly respect you, Megan, as I did her. You’re a beautiful young lady! 💕

You have a beautiful testimony, and I’m sure it’s in a nutshell.
Hi! My husbond had leukemia 15 years ago, and had to take a zillion blood tests the 42 months his treatment went on, and the years after. He got one very good tip when it came to helping the nurses to find his blood veins: Drink at least 1 pint the hours before the test. It really works. I also have a medical issue that requires blood tests every sixth week. When I drink a lot before the tests there are no difficulties. If you are weight concious, just know how much you drank, and tell the midwife (and yourself ;-). My husbond is well and kicking today, btw ;-)
I just love this channel. It is the simple non toxic daily family life I needed as a new “homemaker”. It’s the adult version of KZreadrs I watched as a teen 😂
With my 3rd and 4th pregnancies, I didn’t look at the scale and asked my doctor and her assistant to not tell me my weight or write it on any paper. They were gracious to accommodate me and it was SO wonderful to not be stressed about it! I’m also petite and have a good relationship with food (I’m a dietitian, actually 😅), but man, body changes in pregnancy are HARD!
Love this time of year. I wear a head covering for church. But other than that, I usually wear a hat when I go out. I'm a baptist, but I do believe in head covering for church when I publically pray in a public setting. Or if I teach or attend church, Sunday school, or ladies' settings.
Congratulations on the baby! Also can’t believe your oldest is already in first grade! Time just does not stop
What helps with blood tests is drinking water hydrates the vein making it easier for them to poke it. If I don’t drink water, I’m black & blue from them trying.
I absolutely love videos like this!
Loved the video, as usual. Thanks Megan
Beautiful video! Thank you for sharing life! ❤
Love the fallidays Megan! ☺️
Lovely from beginning to end! Thank you!
That store was amazing!!
Happy Birthday Evonnie. !!! Great video thanks for sharing
Great,fun, full of love video Megan.
Thank you so much for the break from life
Loved the verse at the end ❤ Sending love and well wishes!
I love all your fall decorations and all the good looking drinks you make ❤ looks so good
Love watching your family grow
Drinking my coffee and watching your video. And following your journey.
My favorite part of the videos! Fancy drinks!!
Inspiring and so much fun! Thanks so much!
Great video Megan thanks for sharing your family and beautiful Lancaster County.
It always feels like you are right in my kitchen with me. Love your patio and all that you are doing with it.
You are a huge light and are here for such a time as this! Keep going strong. 💗
I love that Josh seems to be getting more comfortable in front of the camera! Great video!
I’ve been watching for a while and I love how your video style has grown. They are just so enjoyable to watch and continue to get better as you go 😊
Was looking for that fall punch recipe you said you would post but couldn't find it. Good bless!!
Always love your videos! I look forward to Thursdays when I can sit down and watch your new video. I now have Lancaster, PA at the top of my vacation list and can't wait to see the country, the towns and experience attending a Mennonite church service while I'm in the area hopefully next year. You are an inspiration to all us stay-at-home moms.
Enjoyed your video. You are doing such a great job. Would love to hear Josh's thoughts on the firepit and how he likes cooking on it. Thanks
Fletcher is adorable! He’s growing up so much! And I always love seeing little Rio in the videos 🥰❤️ Praying for you and baby!
Miller's thumbs up should garner you a lifetime sponsorship from Green Chef. hehe. And Happy Birthday, Evonnie!
Megan, you are a beautiful soul and I love your content so very much. Very talented with videos and sound!!! ❤
Thank you for such a lovely video! How special that you had some mom-daughter time with your sweet angel! I am praying for you and baby and hope you are keeping well. Lots of blessings to you and yours! ☀️
I dont know what the video is about but i know I'll enjoy and learn something from you when i watch it!!! You are my good addiction:) Thursday is my day off, and after work out, laundry, cooking, groceries I plan to sit down and enjoy!!!
Loved this video!! The end was absolutely beautiful with the Bible verse, the sky and then the bird flys across!! ❤
I love your beautiful family. Super fun video❣️
You look so pretty in white Meghan and your head covering. You inspire me to wear it more often not only when I’m praying! God will reward you for being the light in this world!!!
Megan..I love your channel, and I love that you honor and stay true to your convictions. You are most inspiring.
September Farms, we visit every time we go to Lancaster. Your family is growing so fast, can’t wait to meet your new bundle of joy. Your energy is amazing!
I love the place u went to see the sunflower I went this summer from ur suggestion and my family loved it. Will be back next summer.
I have bought from Joyce's before, and also from a few small etsy sellers. It took a while to figure out what styles felt right, but it is a reminder of God's care and protection that also helps me feel more connected to my sisters in Christ.
I love your videos!! You have a calmness and peace that is definitely from the Lord which calms me after a crazy day. Thank you!!
I love Agave ! It’s so good there. I also love going to September Farms but I have to admit I haven’t been there since before Covid hit. Fox Meadow is close to me. I just love living in this area. Thank you for such wonderful videos I look forward to them every Thursday 😊
hey girl- loved the video! You are so fun!😀😉 yummy food. Glad the pregnancy is going well🥰
We’re from different worlds but you just motivated me to get up off couch. Thank you
I think you did an awesome job on the thumbnail, it's beautiful! I'm enjoying this video after finding the right one- by mistake, I started on one of yours from last year & kept thinking why does everyone look so much younger than I remember? I couldn't believe you cut the extension cord again, so I checked which video I was actually watching 😜
We are visiting Lancaster county while this video came out! We had gone to Agape 2 days ago and had their raspberry/rosemary spritzer! I love when you share your recipes!!
I really enjoy your videos!
Love your patio makeover! Fun vlog😊❤Can your babies get any cuter😊❤
I truly enjoy your vlogs. They are always so comforting. I also love the fact that you are a Christian and talk about God.
Recently started head covering too- tried a few different ones you’ve mentioned and that I’ve seen recommended around the internet, but ended up with a garlands of Grace covering. Absolutely love it! Once there’s room in my budget, I will be ordering from them again! 👏👏👏
Greetings from the middle of Nebraska. I so enjoy your videos!! So glad your OBGYN appt went well. Your patio has turned in to such a wonderful entertaining area. Back in my day growing up in a Catholic church and school we wore chapel veils at mass. If we forgot our veil, our nuns would bobby pin a kleenex on our heads. I loved wearing chapel veils. No longer required in our Catholic faith but some women still wear a head covering to mass. Your area is so beautiful for biking and walking. Your videos always bring joy to my day so thank you for taking us along!! The kiddos are darling!
Beautiful punch sounds so good!
Your videos really calm me
I agree. We also cover our heads when we pray because Bible does say that “every wife who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head”. Love your head coverings they look so comfortable ❤️
I look forward to your videos every week!! Thank you for your content. ❤ feeel like we are besties and I look up to you as a mama!
I've seen that "For His Glory " store when we passed by and would love to stop in sometime.
I love the head covering thing.
I started covering recently as well!! Especially coming from a non-Mennonite background, Joyce’s veils really makes covering practical and beautiful!

I get all my headcoverings from Joyce's Veils too! ❤ I also used one as a pattern to make a couple on my own.
Love your videos Megan!♥️
You need to be super hydrated before having blood drawn so it's easier to get the stick right first time if it's difficult. Start day before.
Megan, your video was beautiful; you have such a wonderful life. Did you have think about writing a book with all the drinks you create? You have so many; and all your drinks look delicous. I would definitely buy the book. I'm so happy your doctor's appointment went well; I knew you were so nervous! Thanks for sharing your life with us; love your videos.
You make hosting look so easy and fun. That is something I need to grow in because it tends to stress me out🙈🙈

I remember my Mom always being extremely stressed out when she "had to have guests". And that was such a pity because it meant that neither she nor us children could enjoy spending time with the people that came to visit - and that we hardly ever had guests at all. So I would just like to share what I concluded from this experience: Please do remember that your guests come to visit YOU, not your house. They come for the company, not for the food. (Of course you want to serve them something nice, but if that ist their main motivation for coming, they can always go to a restaurant). As for yourself, you invite them because you want to spend time with them, not because you need to prove something to them. I apply these principles and, well, there actually are people who don't think I'm a good host. Those are the people who think it's a competition. But then there are people who love to visit me because they know they can just relax and feel at home. It's just not possible to please everyone.
Beautiful video!
I love watching your videos that one look like a lot of fun. Very blessed beautiful children. See you in the next video. I want to see your fall Decour have a blessed Thursday night.❤
I ordered my first veils from Joyce's the other day! I went based off an old video of yours that you mentioned 7.5 by 8" I hope that size works for me!!
I love this time of year
Wow, your children are all adorable - they grow so fast don't they?Seems Miller was just born but now he is a toddler and Fletcher has outgrown toddler & become a kid.
Oh my goodness! We were just in the Lancaster area a few days ago. Also went to Zinck's and Cocalico's. Great places to go.
I ordered from Joyce’s after watching your video from a couple years ago. While my husband does not prefer the traditional veils, I’m able to get some from her shop that are supposed to be worn as a longer veil in back and I fold them similar to how you did with yours so it gives more of a large headband look. They’re the softest t-shirt material and hold up so well. I also love garlands of grace

Garlands of Grace have my favorite head coverings!
What a good video!! ❤❤❤
Megan, I LOVE your videos! I'm a fellow Lancaster County native and can't believe I didn't find you sooner. I love when you show local places because I've been to so many of them :) (Griddle and Grind is amazing, btw) I grew up going to Mennonite school (I went to Kraybill Mennonite K-8) and I wore a head covering for a while in my late teens. God has taken me on such a unique journey and I don't have children yet (will be getting married in about 6-7 months!), but I have the desire to stay at home and raise children. Your videos are so inspiring when I think about my future, and I love the cozy reminders of how simple pleasures in life are the best.
The one you put on from Garlands of Grace looks so nice!
I can’t express enough how much I love your videos! They are so encouraging and inspiring. I’m not a mom yet but when I become one I know I want to be just like you! I look forward to Thursday every week!

The “long hair” we interpret as a head covering is specifically uncut hair grown to its natural length. We believe it’s “removed” when it’s cut or trimmed :) while I simply maintain uncut hair, I think a physical veiling is nice as well

Paul is concerned with covering at specific times (prayer and prophesying), so must be that it is a removable covering to put on and take off not something permanent like our hair. Also if you study the Greek words used, they're all the same except for verse 15 where a different word is used to refer to natural hair verses a covering. Just some things to consider!

Hello dearest Megan! Always the most lovely, cheerful, God centred videos ever. ❤ Thankyou for representing a true Christian woman + sister in Christ. Ive been praying about the head covering as mentioned in Corinthians also. Much thanks & Gods blessings xxx
Oh yes! I am the same way when it comes to weighing in at the OB/gyn office during pregnancy. My blood pressure even elevates when I get on the scale. It's ridiculous 😅. So, you're not alone! 😊
That's so funny cinnamon makes you think of crafts because it makes ME think of craft stores like Michael's or JoAnn Fabrics!! 😂😂 Memories of going in there with my mom when I was little. Love it. 🥰

Thanks for another great video.
Hey Megan, baking with cranberries is easier than you might think. If you get them fresh or frozen, just fold them into any batter like you would chocolate chips. If you get them, dried up, soak them in boiling water for a half hour to soften them up and make them plump and then fold them in, again, like you would chocolate chips. My favourite thing to make with cranberries is white chocolate and cranberry shortbread cookies. Cookies are the only exception, I feel like, to the soaking rule. You just use the shrivelled up cranberries like you would raisins.
Cranberries are SUPER easy to bake with! I have a cranberry pecan scone recipe that’s always a big hit!
Thankyou Megan ❤❤❤❤
I love this series! Watching and drinking my coffee is my naptime encouragement today while my 3 little ones are asleep. 🩶
OMG. Greenchef should put Miller's little thumbs up segment in a commercial!! They better watch this.
The hair pieces you purchased looked very similar to a doily. I think you look wonderful !
Another great video ❤
I love the Bible verse and the sunset at the end.
Wow another awesome video, thanks for sharing
Great video. I may try that Thanksgiving punch and green tea with peach syrup. Go EAGLES!!!
$7 for a gallon of cider at our local orchard in Central NY! Several orchards lots a lot of produce with late frosts this year. Costs are up, up, up!
I started covering my hair because I visit patients in their home, to avoid the smells. However, I really do enjoy wearing them now.
My cousin works at Ágape! Beautiful place. Love watching your videos. All my family lives around your area. Wish I could meet you in person. You seem like such a fun person!
$13 here in Montana for the good cider! Ugh! And the cinnamon stick smell 1000% always reminds me of my mom's fabric craft apples lol. I did not know other moms made those!
Hey Megan, I also am nervous everytime I have to have blood work done because they never find good veins on me 😭 My kids a older now (18, 16 and 12) but when the bigger two where little both my grandmas where still alive and the really got to enjoy quite a bit of their greatgrandchildren.
