What matters most to me when I’m guest is a clean bathroom and a clean sink which means clean dry towels! So I do the same for my guests , if the windows are a tad smudged and the children scattered the toys it feels like home ❤ - from a grandma
This!!! And a chair or place to sit where, as a guest, I don't feel in the way or in someone else's spot. I always offer a warm, soft throw and have a pillow in each sitting space and then let the guests choose and my family knows to let that be the guest's happy spot until further notice. 😂 I have a comfy rocker for my dad and a wood chair for my mom that I store away in a building because that's what they like to sit in.
What an aswesome trip you got to take! Thanks for taking us along with you! Your children are so cute, Miller's little conversation at the end was adorable! 😍 I'm the same way, I always get inspired too when I get home from a trip.
I loved the surprise Monday video! It was wonderful to watch when I had a little down time while children were napping and getting some cuddles in with the youngest. So happy you got some fun girl time in! ❤
I live very close to Nappanee. It is always so fun to watch a video when it is your community and seeing it through a visitors eyes. You picked a great time to come as far as the fall colors.
Hi Megan, great video, Thanks for taking us along. I wanted to go to Nappanee this past weekend as we live less than 3 hours from there in west central Indiana. We have had a gorgeous fall this year and I'm glad you got enjoy it too! Your kids are so cute, late Happy Birthday, Miller! Have a blessed week.
So glad you had a fun girls trip! My highlights from this video were.... "Like burn my esophagus, you know?" Your brown nail polish 😍 The fun new boots - I absolutely approve & support unique shoe choices. Babies along for the ride. Life doesn't have to stop when you have a little one - a good reminder for me.
What an awesome girls (and babies) trip! Those leaves were gorgeous and so was the architecture! Glad you made memories with your friends and made it back safe and sound.
I’m glad you had a great getaway, thanks for bringing us along. My takeaway was your thoughtful friend that made the breakfast sandwiches and roadtrip snacks, God bless her!
Indiana is beautiful in the fall! So glad you got to enjoy my home state for a bit! I love to travel up to Amish/Mennonite country for some peaceful time away!
That's so great that you can come home excited and inspired. When I come back from other homes nicer and more organized then mine I can have a really bad attitude. Also I have never made a coffee at home that is as good as what I can get from Caribou. I think I need to break down and buy an espresso machine and hope that does the trick. Thanks for such a fun video!
Great vlog Megan!!!! If I lived in your area and went on a road trip I'd have to buy Sturgis Pretzels and Wilbur Buds to munch on ☺️. We were up in your area a few weeks ago from Orlando (a 10 day, 2500 mile road trip) and stocked up in those shops. We also went (at your recommendation) to Ken's Educational Joys and bought our special adult son a new children's Bible and devotional. They were so helpful finding just the right ones for him.
Love girl trips, but they’re hard to plan & get everyone together at the same time (planning). Glad you had a fabulous time! Please make those browned butter choc chip cookies & let us know how they turn out.
Hooray! I’m loving a video on a Monday! Thanks for brightening my day! My family has been sick so this is a nice treat for me today! Love your channel megan💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 also when will your new planners be available?!?!?!?!
Hello Megan, thank you for taking us along on your girls trip. I sure enjoyed seeing Indiana and all the area. How wonderful that you and your girlfriends took a trip together. No doubt a great bonding time, sharing thoughts, feelings and encouraging one another! I love the Nativity scene and can't wait to see the manger piece that he builds. Did you see Touchdown Jesus?? Baylor is adorable and those lashes!!!!!! God Bless!!
Wow Megan, that fruit picture is so much my taste... it looks lovely... so glad you found it and enjoy it! (also happy to know we have similar good taste...?! yeah!!!) I also appreciate how you take the time to treat your children like the wonderful little people they are... such good grounding for them! so proud of you and Josh!!! so encouraging too! Enjoyed the fashion show and thank you for taking us on the trip... so good to see! Enjoy your fall and Christmas shopping! Take care God Bless Linda in Ontario, Canada ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was wondering if you'd be near South Bend and Notre Dame, the campus has two lovely lakes at the back and a grotto, a very walkable area around them, I spent a really great year there a while ago; the Rise and Roll Bakery and Deli is really good, in the Mishawaka area and the Erasmus books near downtown South Bend if you are looking for something to read
Great video and lots of good looking of food. The English egg avocado biscuit looks so good........yummm Glad you had a nice get away with the girls. A nice break before the holidays.
So fun to watch this as I grew up very close to Napannee, IN! Coppes Commons is so much fun! This makes me want to go back and try the spots you visited that I haven't been to before. 😊 Have you ever visited Shipshewana or Middlebury, IN? So many fun things to do there too! We've talked about visiting Pennsylvania sometime, so I'll have to watch some of your "tourist in your own town" videos before we go so I know where the good spots are 😊
I'm fed up of fake people it's like cancer.Love your natural way of making videos bless you.Prayers for my family so that I can be surrounded with true people.😊
Can you explain why you can wear makeup and nail polish but can’t put your hair down ? I truly don’t understand the difference , if anything hair is natural and makeup is not ?
I suspect it has to do with its purpose: the veil or the chapel veil (as its known in Catholicism, which is how I know it) has to do with presence before God and prayer, and draws from the Bible, while makeup is something more individual taste and isn't related to prayer. It would be interesting to here the Mennonite take on it, or Megan's take on it
I think if you asked 10 mennonite girls you'd get 10 different responses. While the bible is pretty specific on covering your hair (I Corinthians 11) it lets some things like modesty, jewelry, and makeup a little more ambiguous. It's something everyone needs to wrestle through for themselves. And for the record, I don't usually wear such gawdy nail polish. I decided to step out and be adventurous for a trip. I'm back to my normal bare nails or pink polish self.
In other people’s homes I always look for a good cuddle cushion to cuddle with cause I’m nervous in other people’s home. So buy some nice pillows for the couches
What matters to me is obviously a tidy home that is clean and all that. But more importantly, it's the environment. If the hostess is running around, seems stressed out, I feel like I'm a burden and not a wanted guest. I'd rather have simpler food but with good conversation and a relaxed environment than something fancy and it feel tense. All the other things like fancy napkins, etc are fun and nice but only if you as a host are relaxed and warm.
As a Notre Dame fan - this made me SO happy! The campus is so pretty and the football games are amazing (I've been to many!)! Glad you had a good trip. =)
So funny but I saw you in Nappanee. I almost asked if you were on RUclips but did not want to be a stalker lol. So glad you enjoyed your time. My kids love going to that coffee shop as have great play area.
Awww great video Megan, you never disappoint!! Curious, how many hours a day you let your hair down, have your kids ever see you with your hair not up?
My sister-in-law and two nieces and their families all live in Goshen, Indiana. My sister-in-law, was raised a Mennonite. We have been in that area a number of times, and it is so pretty! So glad you had a good time.
Why Indiana? Did I miss the attraction you went to see/visit? Lots of quaint towns less than 10 hours away. Guess that sounds like a LONG tine driving. You say Baylor and I'm still thinking Miller is the baby.
It was an unusual warm fall here in northern Utah but the last week of October we are hitting 40s now. We usually have a cool down then a warm up then a cool down haha
An extra video to watch on Tues..Southern Hemisphere!! Cute as...tell us your pumpkin something something milk drink " recipe" that you get twice a year at???? Doubt we have that here...
I like a washed out icecream bucket filled with popcorn for a car ride. 😂 And that's a flashback to Mennonite traveling in the 80's and 90's.😆 We didnt stop except to use the restrooms. Uou typically had a bed in the vehicle for littles to sleep, mom and dad might get a soda when getting gas, but the children all drank water or juice from the thermos.
A sentence I haven't heard...😅 I never shop at Target. 😅. That is my naughty place. You can't leave, you just sucked into, Hearth and Home, all the bedding, the lamps, the stationary, the shoes, the purses, the cute food. Endless Trouble.
I think she specifically said she doesn’t shop for produce at target because she likes to buy from her local produce stand for fruits and veggies but she did buy apples from there that day.
Loveeeeeeee your content! I am not Mennonite but I am a Christian and sure enjoy your videos! Do you have any other recommendations for other like minded ladies to watch?
I wish I could be less picky about Airbnb homes. I always bring an extra clear shower liner because gross 🤢 they’re never changed. Scents that are so overpowering on the towels and bedding. My son has extreme eczema and the last time we stayed in one I had to buy sheets, pillowcases, and blankets. He broke out and also had an asthma attack. We always bring our own towels. I guess I’m just really not the person to take anywhere 😆 oh well 🤷🏻♀️
I can't believe it's still that warm where you live! We have had hoarfrost on some mornings four weeks now, and daytime temperatures are around 5 degrees Celsius 😂
The first thing I notice is the smell.... I always get so bummed when its nothing but Glad chemical sprays. Nothing like hiding them and opening a window! lol
I have many fond memories playing in Litiz Springs Park- 2 of my unmarried Mennonite Great Aunts lived on Second street and when we stayed over night/weekends they would take us there
It’s a RUclips video done by the mother of the family. Her husband does one each week called Montana Haven. They have built a home in Alaska and have had fun living there for the last couple years. They are going to return to their main home in Montana soon. I think they have sold, or will be selling, the one in Alaska very soon. They have enjoyed living there. You would love this family! They are wonderful Christians and they have five beautiful children. The two oldest, twins, are almost grown!
What matters most to me when I’m guest is a clean bathroom and a clean sink which means clean dry towels! So I do the same for my guests , if the windows are a tad smudged and the children scattered the toys it feels like home ❤ - from a grandma
"feels like home" love this!

Made my day that there's a new video, especially on a Monday! Love if this would happen every week 😊🤍
it's soooo much work, but I'd love for that too be possible too!

I was a little nervous about the road trip part of it, but it went great!

I love your videos! An idea: a whole instructional video with all of your best favorite home coffees! ☕️ Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! ❤
oooh! That would be so on brand!
Hi Megan, thank you for sharing your trip the area looked beautiful and it was lovely you took Baylor with you xx
I love main street roasters!! How cool to see you in Nappanee. That's very close to where I live. What a fun girls trip! ❤
Such a nice travel video. Thanks for sharing.
Loved the shoulder tap clothing change ~

I love your fab "Carpet Bag" boots - they're very stylish and very you Megan! 💜
Cute boots! I like them. Thank you for sharing your trip. ❤
I need new silverware. 🤔

I always love your videos! Watching while hanging up laundry! ❤
You visited my ole stomping grounds!💜
So funny but I saw you in Nappanee. I almost asked if you were on RUclips but did not want to be a stalker lol. So glad you enjoyed your time. My kids love going to that coffee shop as have great play area.
Noway!! Yes that was me!
I only live about 45 min. from Nappanee, IN ! Had I known you were going to be there I'd have come to say hello!!!
Yeah i don't usually advertise where I'll be until after the fact for safety reasons.
5:58 “the more sour the better, like burn my esophagus”
Hahahahha 😂
Awww great video Megan, you never disappoint!! Curious, how many hours a day you let your hair down, have your kids ever see you with your hair not up?
Love the boots , very cool 😎
oh my gosh, the BOOTS!! do you have a link for those??
I lived my childhood from 6 yrs old to 17 30 miles from Elkhart. It is cold up there. Beautiful in summer mud in spring!
So cool to see you go thru Elkhart ind, that's where I'm from!! Hope you had fun!!!
How fun. Glad you got some time away and Josh got some Dad time too
My sister-in-law and two nieces and their families all live in Goshen, Indiana. My sister-in-law, was raised a Mennonite. We have been in that area a number of times, and it is so pretty! So glad you had a good time.
I recommend Alexandra's kitchen focaccia recipe. Easy and so delicious!
thanks for the rec!
Why Indiana? Did I miss the attraction you went to see/visit? Lots of quaint towns less than 10 hours away. Guess that sounds like a LONG tine driving. You say Baylor and I'm still thinking Miller is the baby.
My friend moved there for 3 years. Her husband is in residency there.
Your girls trip was in my area! So fun!
It was an unusual warm fall here in northern Utah but the last week of October we are hitting 40s now.
We usually have a cool down then a warm up then a cool down haha
Thank you for sharing ❤❤
Happy Birthday 🎉
I love your videos. Baylor is getting so big. ❤
Omg im in Elkhart! So wish youd done a meet and greet! ❤️
HEY HEY FROM INDIANA!!
So fun!! Where are your white sneakers from?! I love them!
An extra video to watch on Tues..Southern Hemisphere!! Cute as...tell us your pumpkin something something milk drink " recipe" that you get twice a year at???? Doubt we have that here...
You definitely seem like such a loving, patient and fun mother.

Tip from an old mom-a cheap umbrella stroller is perfect for this type of traveling!
Yes, my friend was so kind and just let us borrow her strollers. We didn't have to pack any! 3 babies. 3 strollers!
Loveeeeeeee your content! I am not Mennonite but I am a Christian and sure enjoy your videos!
Do you have any other recommendations for other like minded ladies to watch?
You might like Shayla from Mountain Mama’s Home ❤️
You would have loved shipshewanna!!

Megan… do you watch Chloe Avalon on RUclips ??
I don't! What is she all about?
It’s a RUclips video done by the mother of the family. Her husband does one each week called Montana Haven. They have built a home in Alaska and have had fun living there for the last couple years.

Try Zach bates stuffed mushrooms recipe! ❤
Awesome video. 😊❤
Is there a link for the boots?? I love them
How fun. You were so close!
Wish I would have ran into you!
Hey, you visited my hometown. 😊
love your boots
Indiana girl here, what made you choose Napannee? Definitely a fun place to visit 😊
I am also from Indiana!!! :) southern indiana though
Baylor looks like Josh...such a good baby.
Coppes commons...love going there
