Megan, question. Did this vitamin cause any kind of GI upset to your baby while you were breastfeeding and taking these? I seemed to have some issues with one vitamin (other brand) I was taking during the first 6 weeks postpartum and baby had lots of gas/discomfort issues. When I stopped taking them, she got better. I’ve heard of these vitamins for a while now and want to try them. Just wondering your experience. Thanks!
Not anything to do with the main subject of this video, but literally in tears over here listening to the first background song about God’s grace. I’m in a hard season with my 2.5 year old and almost 3rd trimester with my 2nd feeling like I can never keep up and make everything in my house run smoothly with such low energy & sickness. Thank you for reminding me I don’t have to do it alone 🙏🏼
This too shall pass! Each season looks different and you'll be back in a groove before you know it
You are never alone, in those hard moments, days, reach out to God, he’s waiting!❤️
I promise you will get back to running your house smoothly. I have a 3 and 5 year old and when my little one was born, order went right out the window and I struggled so much. It was then that I understood the power of Jesus. I have never prayed so much in my life. All the best, you've got this mama xx
Praying for you ❤ what’s helped me is waking up before my kids and reading the word of God before I tackle the day. Proverbs 31 has helped me a lot 💙
Such a great song of a beautiful picture of Mercy ✝️💟
I drink coffee every morning. I grind the bean in an old manual coffe grinder. I do my coffee with a French press
My 1.5 year old hated bath time the first year! Yesterday wanted to change is a little bit so i let him sit in the kitchen sink...and voila...no tears...he liked it ♡ just like that... one whole year of screaming and now nothing... 🤔😆
My 14 year old daughter was impressed at how respectful and calm your children were while eating dinner. She also said Miller has pretty eyes.
Love your videos. My daughter pretends to be you and drink coffee lol. You make me feel like I have someone with me while I'm home alone. Kinda like a best friend and thank you for that
Thanks for the video!! Enjoyed it a lot. Can’t wait to see your room reveal! We are working on our master bathroom and bedroom now!
Love this!
That few minutes when they come home from school is so important - even when they're teenagers. They may not always say much, but just having you there means a lot to them.
Loved to see how close Josh and the kids are! So lovely 🥰
So cute miller at end Thanks for sharing
Thank you for sharing your routine love watching your videos have a blessed Monday ❤️
Fletcher is getting so big! Your kids are adorable! Love watching your videos!
Can't wait to watch! Just watched the intro. Your evening routine looks similar to mine- lots of family time. That's always the best time of day- when the kids and husband come back home. I can't wait to hear about my kids' day at school, and the best part is when my youngest surprises me with some special, handmade art work!
Thank you for sharing, Miller is getting so big, just love his sparkling eyes
Loved spending an evening with your family!! You are an inspiration. Thank you for sharing! And, congrats on selling out those planners again! Man, they go so fast every time!
Thanks for sharing your sweet family.
Very happy to wake up to catch this 🥰🥰
Banana bread recipe please. Looks so good!
Ahhh 😌 jamming to your back ground music!!! Love, love, love it especially the first song you played with words.
Only thing missing on the quesadilla is the quacamole....blessed to have a few avacado trees an abundance of tomato plants year round...and an addiction to growing garlic...
I love this thanks for sharing ☺️
It's lovely to see Josh so much more comfortable in front of the camera.
Great video, love seeing the family interaction. Had to laugh at the end, i was watching this video in the shower and as I got ready for bed 😆😆😆
I'm totally with you on the not cleaning up everything in the evening. I just have no energy left. But I really like the mindless task when I wake up.
I love when Rio makes appearances- you can tell she is so excited for the walk, too! 💗🐶
I swear I have a crush on that dog.
AMAZED, and LOVED, the time josh spent reading and teaching the kids, warmed my heart, HOPE AND LOVE ABOUND IN YOUR HOME!
I love that song at the 2 minute mark.
I have a sunset lamp built into my philips wake up light alarm clock! It's great because it has a timer for how long it takes to get dark.
Miller is such a little sweetie ❤️
I need that banana bread recipe oh my goodness!
❤ You make me miss Lancaster, PA…. but still glad we made the move to Florida last Fall. Now I can vicariously live through your videos to get my PA fix ❤!
I don't blame you. FL is a beautiful place too!
Shower + RUclips videos is the best! 🙌
Night routine is always harder for me than morning ones since I'm naturely a night owl. But I keep trying. 😁
Hooray! Thanks Megan for making my day even better! Love your channel girl💖🙏💖🙏
You are so welcome!
Love the content. Psalms 92:1-15🥰💕
I like to clean up in the morning too :)
I love seeing how much the babes look like you both! You appear to have a really calming routine in the evening, which is nice. Happy is all we can ask for in life and your family makes you so happy...Peace to you, in all you do...
I received my planner and I love it! It's the only planner I've ever been able to pick up and actually look forward to using! Usually, they last me 3 days! Still going strong on mine! ❤
So glad! I like to say it's a guilt free planner!
I wish I could just go to bed after the kids-good for you! I’m too anxious waking up to a mess so I stay up too late cleaning sometimes. 😂 and it’s so nice to see Josh spending quality one on one time with the kids. Y’all are great parents
My family loves your banana bread recipe ❤!! I have made it several times! Thanks for the recipe.
Where you find Megan’s banana bread recipe?
I wish we would see more of the dog! He or she is adorable!!
My son is a few weeks younger than Miller and last month he went through what I like to call a “water boycott” 😂 He loves the water normally, but during that short two week period, swim class was miserable and baths were even worse! Thank God it didn’t last long! Hopefully that’s the case for you too!
Would love to see your day with your daughter at school and you home with the boys! Maybe I just need motivation 🤣 you’re always so productive!
I'm amazed by how much energy you have! I know we only see some parts of your life here but it's always so energetic. I guess being about 10 years older makes you 10 years more tired 🤣
One thing that really changed things in my evening routine was filling up the kettle. Mornings with a toddler are much easier when you can just flip the switch.
Love the tip! Also I did relax after I turned off the camera that evening. But I didn't film it . . . because then that wouldn't be relaxing!! haha!
My nights are busy with house work till about 7. Then its devotions as a family and bed by 8 for the children. By 8 I am ready as well and my hubby and I will sit and watch a tv show then bed. I do pickup my house in the evenings, it makes me feel more calm in the mornings.
Josh is an amazing dad!
Very enjoyable......good vibes 🤗
It seems like a long time ago when the children were small … like yours, such a fun busy time. The days are long but the years are short. They really are. I like how your children dig in and eat. Mostly ours did too. And the Bible story my husband did the same. It really does start a good foundation for children to have those ancient Biblical stories read. Now in the evening after dishes I grab a quick shower (in the summertime I take a walk after supper but now I do that earlier) then I make a large cup of tea and sit and relax with a book or play my wordle if I forgot in the morning .ha and watch RUclips videos… I really do relish this time of quiet after years of the house ringing with children and now it still does at times with grands but they go home again. God is so good if we put him first isn’t he?
I do identify with all you said! The days are long and the years short for sure. My girls are 36 and 40 with their own children. I hear daily how they appreciate me now that they see how difficult it rewarding being a parent is! 🙏🏻
Great video! I love a look into other people’s routines. Gives me a new perspective and helps me make changes and try new things ❤
So weird that your comment says 3 days ago but this video just came out today?
@@minivandreamin1789 yeah, somehow I watched it on Friday. I was pleasantly surprised and confused. 🤷🏻♀️
Love your videos
You are wonderful. You and your husband has truly been blessed by God to have such an amazing family.
The phone usage is great!!
I love watching your videos, Megan!! I wish we could be friends in real life - Lancaster County seems like such a wonderful place, where everyone is always spending time together and hosting and things like that!
I live in southern Indiana, and people are much more “to themselves” and not really spending so much time with one another.
I know we’re seeing a more “generated” version of your life here on RUclips, but still!! I couldn’t make my life look like this if I tried lol.
Please restock your floral day planner, I want one.
2/3 of mine have been scared of baths at that age. I just run it and wash them next to it then eventually they get back in. I have no idea why it happens but if you don't make a big deal it ends fairly quickly.
I take ritual, too!
Megan, have you done Squareword?! It's even more fun!! It's just like Wordle except its more words in a square. You have to figure out the words across.
My evening routine. I get off work at 6:30 or later. I eat. Then I do errands or programs at night like church stuff, which has been 3 nights a week, finish at 9PM, then the gym from 9-11PM and that b includes a shower then home for snack, dog walk, bed at midnight and am sitting in my chair tethered all day to the computer and phone at 8:30am the next morning. I have a two hour lunch so that is a dog walk, cooking and eating and cleaning up. I usually go to the laundry mat or wash the long haired dog or get gas and wash my car on lunch break as well. I am exhausted from talking all day at work so on the weekends I don't even look at a phone. I wish I had more time to be creative and clean but work clearly takes up most of my time.
Love your videos:)
Watching videos in th shower is th bomb . It's the perfect combination for an amazing rewind.
What blessing to see Josh reading the Bible. And your whole family
Shalom! Meghan I love your channel,. I don't know if this will help or not, but my niece's son Lincoln was that way too about the bathtub, until she put a slip proof mat down now he loves taking bath! Keep up the good work and content! 🤗❤️🤗
You know, I bet that's part of it! I think I'll try putting a towel down next time!
@@MeganFoxUnlocked Thank you for answering back, I hope that works for him too! 🤗❤️🤗
May I ask where you got your shirt from? I love it
Hi Megan how are you can't wait to watch the video of your bedroom makeover just wanted to let you know that your videos are very inspirational I love to see when you and Josh we to the children and talk to them about the Bible the Lord is very important in our lives thank you for always sharing your videos and Vlogs always bring me joy God bless ❤️
Che bravo papà, ha molta maniera con i bimbi.
The quesadillas are so much better tasting when fried with butter instead of oil.
It’s so refreshing to see a family saying grace before a meal. And I love that Josh tells them a religious story, banana bread is one of my favourites. Thank you for sharing your family life xx
My daughter was scared of the bath around your sons age. She grew out of it and loves the bath now!
Good to know it may improve!
What are the products in your shower. I love the white and simplicity of the bathroom
Yay 😄
Quick question megan what do you think of baby monitors? Do you use them for your babies? I use one but I’m curious about what your thoughts are on them! Love your channel girl ❤
where do you get a lot of your tops? I love you style.
I leave my house in various phases of untidy every night. As long as dinner is cleaned up, I’d much rather do the cleaning during the day and rest at night after the kids are in bed
It’s so funny that you mentioned the dinner time drink! Here in Australia it’s super common to not have anything specific drink wise with dinner or to just have water. I stayed with an American family for a few months at the end of highschool and was shocked when they brought out a big ol’ carton of milk and 3 different kinds of nesquick! 😂😂
God’s blessing
Fletcher, good answer about who was riding on the donkey! The God-man -- God incarnate, entering His own creation. Megan, at some point can you talk a bit about how Evonnie has changed (or not) since starting school last fall? If not, that's okay, just curious.
Wait , you have a dog ?! I have been following ever since you were expecting Miller (my son is the same age :)) and I have never heard of the pup :')
Love from France
We have the Tell me the stories of Jesus book and LOVE it. It was a gift from Mennonite friends and our children have taken to it so well!
Some children become scared of the bathtub when they see the water go down the drain. They’re afraid they might go down. We’re retired so I won’t give you our evening routine. I think you do an amazing job!
Your videos always make me miss my kids being little 😢
Hey Megan, What is the name of the song playing in your video? Love your videos!! ❤️
Depths of your love by joyspring it’s a beautiful song ❤
@@Dana-mb1hd Yes it is! 😊 Thank you! ❤️
I love the song you play while you’re editing, who is it by?
It's the Depths of Your Love by JOYSPRING
With what app do you edit your videos? 😊
Can't take you seriously with the ear muffs 😁
So interesting to see. Would have loved a tag saying roughly what time of the afternoon evening it was. How long do your kids nap for in the afternoon?
They sleep from about 2-5. At least the baby. My 5 year old about half that time.
@@MeganFoxUnlocked wow that’s amazing! Does that mean bedtime is after 8 - so that they are tired enough?
Wow that is awesome! I wish my girls took naps like that. My 2 1/2 year old is going through a phase of not taking naps😔 I always enjoy watching your uplifting videos. Thank you 😊
Have you thought about what hobbies or sports your kids will do?? This could be a chat video for you. Our kids were kids in the 80's & started playing soccer & basketball once they started school.. also they did gymnastics from age 7 then all 3 ( 2 boys & you ngest girl) all did tap dancing & jazz ballet. ( i was running a dance school but sent them to others to learn) the boys did 2 yrs of tap but one lasted 4 yrs as by then he realized he was the only boy in the class an d felt odd !! Funny he didnt notice for the other 2 yrs!!! Our daughter danced forever & got a teaching degree in dance, sports ; German. I found that doing Gym messed up family meal times alot..involved 2 hr sessions then overl apped each age group. My Mum helped alot with transport!! So choose activiiti es not just for their
Immediate age but as they age an d move into a diff time slot..it affects eating together. Are you as Mennonites allowed to do dance class?? And would they wear leotards with ski rts over t he top?? Night routines change alot once all 3 in school..thats for sure!! We never had the luxury o f school bus pickup!( im in Australia) kids walked or rode to school with us the Parents
Great video
Teach me how to watch your phone in the shower! Waterproof case??
Which audio stories does Evonnie have?
Planners are out of stock again, according to your site :-(
What is the song playing while you were editing? I've been trying to find it for weeks
Depths of Your Love by Joyspring
Enjoyed the video! Love watching you cook and eat meals with the family. I never can quite figure out what color your lower kitchen cabinets are. Sometimes they look green, sometimes blue, and in today’s video gray!
😊😊
I never knew you had a dog!!
I watch RUclips videos when I shower too.
♥️
Do you have any RUclips channels you’ve been loving lately? Thank you!
Check out This Mama's House, Milena Ciciotti, and Our Tribe of Many!
@@MeganFoxUnlocked I love This Mamas house but I’ll check out the others! Thanks 🙏🏻
Are you gonna post a video of your sisters wedding?
Yes!! February 23!
How is Miller so big already?!
Do you have a special phone case that protects it from the water?
No. But my phone is water proof/resistant. Most are.
How come we never see the dog inside ??
