    I was feeling a little down about world events and worried about the future for our children and then saw this and immediately was blessed to see such great kids my own will grow up with in this world. There’s. Good. People. Still. God is still on the throne! Loved this one, Megan.

    You are wise beyond your years! Its so relaxing for me to watch your videos after a long day at work. I’m a Registered Nurse in Canada and I look after and help people all day long and I always look forward to watching your videos to wind down with at night. It’s a “treat” I give myself. So thank you for just being you!

    Great video! I just can't believe Miller is already 2 years old. I remember him being born! And now you're having another boy....how exciting! Your days are filled with such joy and you set a wonderful example of how to truly enjoy motherhood, being a wife and homemaker. Thank you for sharing!

It fills my heart with joy to see your beautiful family together, loving & supporting each other. You are such an amazing mom & Josh is a wonderful father! Thank you so much for sharing your life & wisdom with us! Happy birthday blessings to Miller!! 🎉Sending prayers for so much joy these next few months of celebration.

    We cut and peel apples and freeze them in gallon bags, during the winter I just take out a bag and put them in the crock pot in the morning, and then when my daughter got home from school warm apple sauce was ready. We have it on oatmeal the rest of the week. No sugar needed.

  • @gracens5548

    I appreciate the encouragement to focus on always coming back to the basic routines. I am a newly single Mom, and so now I am the one the kids look to to set the structure of the day. I have not been letting them help me with much because I always think I can do it faster. However, like the applesauce making, it could actually be a good time for us to bond and get a task done. & they have really been wanting to help me unload the dishwasher...they are so sweet, next time I will say, Yes!

    Your first tip about cooking double portions then eating later in the week is exactly what we do. When we shop we buy ingredients for a chicken based meal, a fish based meal and a red meat meal. That takes us to 6 days then on the 7th day I usually rustle up something easy from the freezer or a simple pasta dish or we eat out. We get the children involved in choosing the 3 meals each week too.

    I have a tip for anyone who doesn't have time to make homemade applesauce. 😁 My mama would put a jar of unsweetened applesauce in a pot Sunday morning and a peeled sliced apple, brown sugar, and cinnamon. She would let it cook while the rest of breakfast cooked and then take a potatoes masher to it to break the apple into chunks. It tasted homemade and she only had to cut 1 or 2 apples depending on the amount she made that morning.

    Totally get having applesauce with your chocolate cake with peanut butter icing! And it's got to be peanut butter icing! 😀 I grew up with that tradition. Although the jury is out on needing to pour the applesauce on top! I like it better on the side, but my father faithfully puts it on top of his cake!

    I make my applesauce in my 5 quart crockpot. Wash apples, cut in quarters (no need to peel or core). I use only Cortlands (we have trees). Fill the crockpot full, then add 3 cut-up pears.Start on high for about an hour, then on low for at least 5 hours or until the apples are soft. Put through a food mill. To one crockpot of sauce, I add 1/3 cup sugar, a scant teaspoon of salt, and a teaspoon of vanilla. I always freeze my applesauce.

    I made (chunky) applesauce once. It was wonderful, but a lot of (messy) work. If I had an apple tree, I would continue making it, but since I don't, I'll just buy it at the store. Much easier and good enough for me. Happy Birthday! Miller.

    I couldn't believe how great value your apples are,I paid £2 for 6 small apples the other day,it would cost a fortune for me to make apple sauce.
    Miller is so grown up and aware of everything, you & Josh have some Amazing children. Can't wait to hear what the babies name will be,what collection of surnames will you put together I wonder, very clever way of coming up with fabulous names that next to know one has hehe.

    I love to bake but don't always have the time to bake and clean up the mess. So when I do bake I try to double or triple the recipes and freeze the extras before they are baked. I will scoop out the cookie dough and freeze them on a sheet and then bag them up so all I have to do is pull yhem out and bake them when we want some fresh baked goodies. If I make a fruit crisp I will also mix it all up and freeze it in a baking dish so when we want it I can pull it out and bake it!

    This was a great video and I can't wait to try those recipes! I also completely agree...prepare yourself for those 3 year olds!

    I always try to change the leftovers in some way- hamburgers then hamburgers and gravy with mashed potatoes, or pork roast with potatoes then maybe pulled pork sandwiches… something like that! 🙂🙂 love the video!
