Such a joy to watch you! Here are a couple of other ideas...play in the sprinklers...do a puzzle...make homemade popsicles...press some flowers...❤ Love your videos!!!
So happy to find a fellow st. Louis based creator as a new viewer! I am loving all your content, and your advice has already made such a difference in my mindset. ❤
I live right on the Erie canal so I can get those negative ions from the moving water right in my backyard. I really need to get out there more it's just so easy to get all wrapped up in my routine and to forget about the little important things like that. I also love the suggestion to write out your phone boundaries! I've been on a journey of using my phone less and I've cut my average monthly phone time in half over the last couple months but I want it to be better than that still so I may give that a try. Another tip to try for those who have little children: walk at their pace, stop feeling the need to pick them up so you can go faster their little legs just naturally move slower than ours. I have found that between letting my 16 month old toddler walk and being 26 weeks pregnant I'm being forced to slow down and it is so wonderful!
I like picking your uniform for the season. I got a very basic thrifted wardrobe just for teaching summer school. It’s comfortable and cute. And it makes getting ready very easy!
Oh Margaret, you are really my favourite RUclipsr and you changed my summer already with your decluttering Videos and also food (you are the reason why I bought Kori Melloys Freely Rooted course because as a mom of two smaller kids I need to be nurished and feel powerful) even when it was spring! I love your list so much, will totally add that to my slow girl summer 2023!
Guess I will write that list down, let my older one draw a bit next to it and start a Margaret Matheny Slow Summer Bucket List (without pressure for sure) with it. Who's with me? :)
I loved this so much ! A long time ago I found one of your videos and in the first 5 seconds I subscribed and I've never looked back ! Thankyou for adding a ton of sunshine to my life ❤
So many of your suggestions are about being outdoors, sadly, my summer is the worst season for me to be able to go outdoors AT ALL. I live in an area where we have smoke from forest fires to different degrees almost every single day all summer and into mid to late fall depending on the year. Since June 1 we’ve had 6 smoke free days. I get very ill even in the smallest amount of smoke… I only go out for grocery shopping once a week. It is WAY WORSE then any CoVid quarantine was. At least during CoVid I could go outside and go for walks etc. With the smoke, I can sometimes not leave the house for two weeks straight and without even being able to open the windows or doors or get any fresh air at all for weeks on end…it is vey brutal for someone who does love being outdoors and fresh air.
Hi @margaretmatheny ! Quick question - is there a reason you’ve changed from Smear to Ela Skin Co? I bought Smear based on your recommendations recently. It smelt a little like beef fat as you mentioned in this video 😅
@@margaretmatheny thank you for clarifying & for sharing your genuine experiences with products! Helps out a lot! I’ve just moved to the U.S from Australia & finding new products is overwhelming! 😅
Number 36, watch Margaret Matheny
My sons and me love trains..we spend alot of time waiting for trains at our little depot or sitting on the bench near the track eating a snack
The chocolate collagen is so good in my coffee! 😊
My friend and I painted watercolors this morning and just chatted.
It was so much fun!

I honestly didn't think it would be that easy! Thank you SO much.
I’m just enjoying watching you
I love your videos ❤
You are just amazing 🥰🥰
You're so peaceful you're a wonder to watch. You did remind me that I have spaces in my bedroom to declutter so thank you x
As a published poet and poetry lover I adore your “poetry themed dinner with friends” idea!

What a lovely idea you had, Margaret!! Absolutely beautiful!!❤
I loved this! I'm definitely saving it for when it's summer here again!

What is the brand name of your collagen?
Perfect Supplements! I should have a discount for you in the description, along with the link!
A bunch of video’s back you talked about an additive that you add into your drinking water - what was it? I can’t seem to find it back now.
Was it organic Olivia drops?

Both are great options! I just like to switch up brands for my skin every once in a while. And I just enjoy trying new tallows. They are all so good!!

It sounds crazy, but floss your teeth to slow down.
Ooh yes, definitely makes you take a few extra intentional minutes to care for yourself
