    Looks like a blessed full life. It is always a good day when you need to spend money AND you have the money to spend. That is such a gift. Doing things for the right reasons and with the right attitudes changes everything, too. Haven't stopped by in a while, but have to say it is a little jarring to see Miller doing things I remember Fletcher doing. Miller is growing so fast! He is becoming a real buddy and companion to Fletcher and not the baby anymore. Time is flying. And Evonnie turning six must make you feel like a veteran at this parenting thing. Happy birthday Evonnie!

    Megan this was a fun video!! I would be very interested in learning how you do budget when you have an income (yours from social media) that is not necessarily consistent. What do you guys do for health insurance, taxes, retirement, private school (we paid for a Catholic school and then paid for our 2 sons college)...lots of sacrificing for sure! My husband owns his own retail store and I am retired so we watch our dollars. I love learning from Dave Ramsey and follow it for the most part. I am going to put your area on my bucket list to visit as it always looks so pretty when you take us along on your car rides. Happy Birthday Evonnie! I love that you are able to have a camping week-end with your family every year! Thank you for taking us along on your week. You are such a beautiful woman and I love how you model clothes. I am not a clothes person but I do enjoy your outfit choices. PS: I have you on my prayer list with 3 other pregnant moms!
