    I was raised by my great-grandmother until I was 8 and feel that it was such a huge blessing! I miss her terribly, she passed away a few days after I turned 18.

    My daughter - 7 year old Annabelle Dixie - spends regular time in the care of her VERY active/capable 90 year old great-grandmother. I agree - it is SUCH a blessing our kids can build relationships and legacy with the great-grand generation ❤

    My Great Grandma used to babysit me for short stints when I was a kid. One time I talked her into playing house and our house was under a card table. My Grandma had to help her out from the table. Oops!

    I just wanted to say how much you have helped me through the last two years. We moved from Pennsylvania to California. It was really hard, but your videos take me back to my home and I love it! We are moving back to PA this summer and my whole family is looking forward to being back home! Thank you for your videos! God bless you and your family!❤

    Seeing your kids on the counter reminds me of a story my brother told about waking early Saturday morning to sounds from the kitchen. His triplet girls and their older sister (about a year older) were all sitting on the kitchen counter in their diapers making themselves cereal. I guess she was the ringleader.

    Love the new Fox Sparrow items. Looking forward to seeing the new dress line. Happy birthday to Fletcher! Looks like a fun time at the cabin. Is that a family property or just rented? It was huge. We’re empty nesters and my husband handles the finances. I do the grocery shopping and I’m the more frugal one. I try to save whenever possible. Take care and God bless y’all! 😀❤️

    I got 15 years with two of my great grandmas. I absolutely loved hanging with the old ladies! I learned how to cook and bake, play card games, read, and write in part thanks to them. It’s the best having close family. Makes me sad my family is far from my children now. They won’t get the same experience as me😞 Thank goodness for technology and Google duo.

    Bummed! I’m getting to your video late this week and just went to get a glass mug and they’re “sold out”, but I’m not surprised😊
    I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled.
    It took me a few tries before I was able to get a planner, so back to daily check-ins on the website.
    Oooo, the card wallet!! I really need one of those.
    You’re a rockstar!!

    Once again, Meghan, your video was excellent! We can all identify and commiserate over the huge cost of food. Time to plant some veggies - weather here in California should soon be conducive for planting tomatoes!! I so enjoy your family gatherings!!
    Keep up the good work!
    PS. I thoroughly enjoyed your opening - the songs and family scenes in church and the ride through rural Pennsylvania in early spring. Thank you for best part of today!!

    I budget using the EveryDollar app. I used the free one when single and now my husband and I pay for the app and we sit down once a month together and I track it throughout the month and I love it

    We definitely budget!! It's very eye opening to actually give every dollar coming in a name/place versus trying to wing it🤪 And I'm a part of our finances..My personal opinion is every wife needs to know what is taking place..especially in a case of emergency or death you know what all accounts you have😏

    You should try making your own Play-doh! It's really easy and super cheap. There are plenty of recipes online and it just takes water, flour, salt, oil, cream of tartar and some food coloring. It works really great and keeps well. It makes great little party favors for kids and you can even add glitter or shimmer powder to make it extra fancy.

But just so you know you’re never a fail as a mom- you’re an amazing wife, mom and Godly example. Prayers for you and your family.

    @tiffanywheeler48 Год назад +1

    I like my kids to have 6 outfits plus a couple church outfits too! My older 3 all wear the same size and usually share(they don’t have to big choose to) I always feel like I should have more for my foster kiddos though. I feel like if I send them home with only 6 or so outfits, it looks like I didn’t want to spend the money- which isn’t the case. And if they are using laundry matts, 6 outfits might not get through trips.

  • @AngiDas
    @AngiDas Год назад

    It’s interesting that you and I don’t live that far apart really. I live in Pittsburgh and I actually just went to Aldi‘s today and my grocery bill was roughly that. We have two cats and my 21-year-old son lives at home and I have 15-year-old daughter who I think is going through a growth spurt because she can eat as much as her brother can. I would be curious what your utilities look like because it is very expensive here. Anyways, thanks for sharing and I hope that your son had a good birthday and you all had fun at the cabin.

    Our butter has gotten so expensive in Australia. I think 7 dollars for a block of 500grams. The other day ubereats had a dairy special on and I bought up a few butters at 5 dollars. It shouldn't be so much. Lived seeing your week and thsnkyou for being open with us. And what a melodious happy birthday! Sang so well!!!

      It's even worse in Sweden. 500g organic butter is about 11 Australian dollars. Crazy!
