Just a little tip with Lemonade. Make a simple syrup...mix your sugar with enough of the water to cover it well...and heat on your stove until it is clear. It's a quick step and I use 1/4 to 1/2 less sugar in lemonade or tea. Dissolving the sugar seems to make it go further....and makes me feel less guilty enjoying the drinks I love.
Those are dollar tree boxes. They are good though because I have had mine for years at least four. Use all the time. People buy and sale on Amazon from dollar tree. Josh is a typical man. We support you. Haha! I can tell it hurt your feelings a little. It will work out great. I used decals stickers instead of wall paper because mine did not want wall paper on the wall in the bathroom. Been married 49 yrs yesterday. I made the mistake and asked him first. We love each other dearly and God blessed me with a great man but you all know what I am talking about. Wall paper is not hard. Find your repeat, measure and mark on back. Then its hang it from the ceiling down smooth with scraper thing as you go. I love it!!!! Going to look nice and if you want a change later just redo. Wall paper is coming back and its better then the old stuff. Josh is like my husband he jumped in to help you. Bless his heart. He loves you.
“Nest With Me” - cutest title ever! My kids are teens, I am unable to have more, so it will be a long time before I am welcoming new babies. Thanks for sharing!
You are such a beautiful young lady😊God bless you and your family❤and congratulations on your new bby to be. This brings back precious memories of when i was a young mama to be. My daughter Maria Alicia is 36 now and I'm so very proud of her. She works from home and does the housework and takes care of the 3 dogs and 2 cats that she and my son in law have. No grandbbys yet, but maybe someday. I can't wait to be a grandma😊❤May God keep you in His care and watch over you all. I enjoy learning about the Mennonite faith, I'm Catholic, and i enjoy learning about other religions.
This is definitely my favourite kind of video!💓 Good for you for not caring about what people say about your pregnancy!! All that matters is how good you feel!🙏
Oh my gosh I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE your character, its so fun, and bubbly and despite me having to go to bed early for an early shift tomorrow I had to keep watching you. Your house is beautiful, you look amazing and I love seeing American grocery shopping videos bc I'm British in the UK its so different. And I've never been to a Trader Joe's but would love to next time I go to the USA (which btw Orlando FL is my happy place 😁)
I love your videos! I thought I would share what worked for us with a mini van. What worked great for me with 3 children in a mini van was taking out the middle passenger seat. I put 2 car seats in the back roll and the baby in the one middle seat. It made it so much easier to climb in the back to unbuckle the big kid seats and easy for them to climb out on their own. I use the other sliding door to take baby out. The floor compartment behind the passenger seat holds our travel potty, changing mat and diaper changing supplies.
I I was going to suggest the same. One seat of the second row. Remove. You unbolt them from the car. Other than ease of use for the two older. It also helps when you need to reach them ASAP (throwing up or another issue)
I remember my high school 10 year reunion! Such great memories! That was actually 23 years ago. I can't believe I'm that old!!! Lol You are such an inspiration for me to get things done that I've been procrastinating on!!!Sending blessings to you & your beautiful family!!!🙏❤🍂🌻
We shopped at a lot of discount food shops growing up. Food, especially canned foods, long outlasts the government mandated “best by” dates. We used to say we were going to the “used foods store.” 😂 We got a Trader Joe’s back home after I moved away, and now I don’t think we have one in the whole state of Wyoming 😂
I did the bedroom in our motorhome, I actually didn't mind doing it. It did take a lot of time to get it done the way I wanted. But was so worth it, in my opinion.
Watching with my kids just before their bedtime. 9pm here where I live. Thank you for all of your videos. You are very inspiring. 🌻🎵🎼🎶🌹 P.s. I usually hit the like button before watching the whole video.
Sooo let me make a suggestion. Take one of the middle seats out it if its like mine fold it down into the floor. You can get to the very back seat and you have play area if you have to wait somewhere.
You give me such pleasant flashbacks to the days when I was a young wife and mom. :) Some days truly seem like they'll never end, and others seem like nothing goes "right" or according to plan, but when you look back, those aren't the times most remembered. Once the children are raised and on their own, it seems like it all went by so darn fast! Then the memories dwelt upon are those of the good times had, and the loving intent behind every "mistake". :) You are, IMHO, a very good Wife and Mother, and your family, community, and those of us who watch what you share are VERY fortunate that you chose to come on this platform and provide some positive influence to counter balance all of the negative floating around. Sending you and yours nothing but the best of wishes for all future happiness, with MUCH gratitude. PS~ you have a very smart hubby. Now is NOT the time to be stressing out too much. Your energies are needed to sustain MANY lives besides your own right now, and for many years to come. "Work" will ALWAYS be there, and you'll get more time to sew for your lil' ones in due time. (get it? due time? LOL) He is your biggest Blessing, and is a "keeper", not a tyrant. Such a gift to have a man who truly "gets it" and CARES about his wife and family, even the pre born member! TY for all you do, and TC~ {hugz}
Hi Megan🤗 love your videos always looking forward to Thursday to seeing a new one! Really liking your new ride! We've had a minivan for years you'll learn to love it it's so handy for younger children! I just wanted to give you a tip I noticed that you didn't have any floor mats yet I would highly recommend getting the WeatherTech ones they are custom fit and they are so nice especially if there's spells and stuff in the van it's so easy to clean up! And saves the rug from getting any smells and stains.
A fun thing to do with your IKEA bottles we did for Christmas gifts is HOMEMADE VANILLA! Woot!Woot! Our neighbors loved them! There are recepis all over to slice VANILLA beans opens and pour vodka or bourbon on them. However for best results start in spring to give them time, about 3 to 6 months or more for better flavor. Give them a shake every month and yum!
I like the dress with the rust color flowers in it. The color reminds me of fall. You look absolutely beautiful in whatever you wear. Love the way paper looks. Those cubes are fabulous for different seasons of clothing. Have a blessed weekend all.
You’re my favorite content creator, I’ve been watching for about two yrs now. You never let us down, I can’t believe how much you get done! Wishing you and the family all the best! Thank you! 🌻🌻🌻
I like the brown outfits together the best. It gives you an opportunity to mix in pumpkins and fall leaves, corn, etc. It will probably be easier to find something to match for your husband too than green. I can definitely relate to a sewing project going wrong. When my son was 3, he wanted to be Peter Pan for Halloween. I made it not thinking about how tall he was. The costume was way too short for him! So I had to start all over and make a second one. The fun part was I took the smaller costume and dressed up his 18 month old sister as a Christmas elf. :>}
I used the same kind of wallpaper for my kitchen from Amazon. I absolutely loved it. When I moved it was easy to take down cause I was renting. One of your biggest problems was starting in the center of the wall. I've done a lot of wallpapering and have always started in the corner and work to my right. If you do it again try doing it like that. So excited for the baby. Lisa and you both plus Hannah from Hannah's happy home are all pregnant and expecting near the same time.
Learning curve is so true!when we got our jeep Cherokee I called the sales guy and told him I wanted to return it! It was a huge learning curve for this grandma! I send my sympathy to you! Loved the video!
A note of PDF patterns, you probably know already, but for everyone, you can't go by the sizes your child usually wears, but you have to go by body measurements. Same with adult sizes, usually you have to go by measurements, not your store bought sizes. I have made that mistake myself, and it's so annoying. 😝
I've always papered walls it's hard carrying large pasted sheets to the wall, I didn't know you could get already pasted wallpaper. Really enjoyed the video.
I LOVE wallpaper! It adds so much personality! A plain painted wall looks too boring for my taste. My grandmother taught me how to hang wallpaper when I was a newlywed, nearly 50 years ago. I love the look of your newly papered wall--however, it appears you applied contact paper, not actual wallpaper. Contact paper has a peel-off backing. Wallpaper, even the pre-pasted kind, has to be moistened in water to activate the paste. If you love the print and the "vibe" of wallpaper, don't give up! Just start small. You'll get the hang of it. I think it's WORTH IT! :-) POINTER: If you have little bubbles in the paper that you can't flatten out, just puncture it with a needle to release the air. Then smooth it out. Sometimes, if the area is larger, you need to make a slice with a razor blade to allow the air to escape. Keep up the good work, girl!
TY for the tips. I've not ever worked with wallpaper, but have many walls now that need upgrading and am considering a bit for a cpl. of walls as "accent". Now that I've read this, the air bubbles I've wondered about won't be a problem, & I won't have to watch a million 'hack" vids. to learn of these tricks. TC~
I used to live in the Poconos!!! East Stroudsburg to be exact ❤ the mountains and everything is gorgeous my parents had a house built in 2007...man that seems so long ago now! They live in FL now but I loved that house! The area isn't the best anymore just because of all the people that came from bad areas of NY and brought some bad things with them 😔 still a gorgeous area...I worked at the crossings premium outlets at a children's store Hartstrings which is closed now which is sad...I miss Pennsylvania so much!!
Thanks for sharing this video with me Megan! As I said last Sunday, you look absolutely radiant!! Come back for a visit once your new Little Man arrives! You know we all want to hold & welcome him to the family 🥰❤️🙏🏻❌⭕️👶🏻🧸🍼
My family recently moved to Lancaster County and found you on RUclips while searching things to do in the area. My daughter and I love your videos! Thanks for all your great content and tips for things to do in this area! We think we saw you at Fashion Cents a few weeks ago, so funny.
so fun to watch the bulk food finds!! Love comparing other stores-our son and his wife own a bulk food store out here in Kansas, that they purchased from an amish couple who was actually my cousin! Wish we had a Trader Joe's out here-looks like a fun place!!
My town has bark creek pantry about 15 miles away and I just discovered the bulk spices! Whoa and I got 10 lbs of flour for 3 dollars !!! I was so happy !
My brother worked at Winn-Dixie (southern chain of grocery stores), and the power went out one day for several hours. They had to throw away basically everything in the cooler sections of the store, so he brought home tons of food before it went into the dumpster. It was pretty cool!
Absolutely love Trader Joe's! It's is our regular shopping store of choice. Been shopping there for a decade now. We had one 12 mins away and would go weekly. We've since moved now 80 mins away and make a trip monthly. We mainly shop there and Costco. And since we've moved we go weekly to Walmart for the bare essentials that we can't otherwise stock up on. We also liked Aldi but now that is 40 mins from us so we go monthly there as well.
Your video are always such a blessing, Megan. God bless you and your family 🥰 p.s. I just found out I’m pregnant!!! You and your videos have prepared me 😅❤️
I grew up in Virginia with alot of Amish and Mennonites and the bulk/discount stores were so much fun to shop at! We lived in a small town an hour away from groccery stores so we would often go to town once or twice a month and then go to small Mennonite shops that were closer and they always sold those maple leaf cookies so they are a must have fall item for me! Before I went kosher the lucky charms marshmallows from sharp shopper was the coolest thing ever and my mom would buy a big bag for us kids every now and then 🤗 Such good memories!
11:57 if you dissolve the sugar in a little warm water first (aka a “simple syrup”) it’ll incorporate much better and be less grainy when you drink it 🍋❤️ Looks yummy and refreshing!
I made an apron for my daughter. Fit for about a month but I didn’t make it so that the top can be adjusted…anyway her head outgrew the apron. I am either going to keep the apron as memorabilia or give it away!
I am so OCD when it comes to folding my clothes!! My drawers and my hanging clothes are very organized!! My husband just laughs when he watches me fold my clothes because I am so particular!! I hate this over-used phrase but I am going to use it: "You do you and I'll do me"!! We all do what works for us, and there is no right or wrong way!! As a woman who is in a more advanced season of my life, I have found that I have changed the way I do certain things as my circumstances have changed. Megan, can I just say that as a Christian woman of faith myself (I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints), I love your video's!! I just found you a few weeks ago and I am hooked on watching your videos!! My children are all in the same stage of life as you are. You remind me so much of my own daughter, who has a daughter who just turned 5, and a 2 1/2 year old son, and they are starting to think about baby #3. All of my children married people within our Church and they are all raising their children in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Your life style is not that much different than ours. We, too believe in dressing modest!! We love fashion and clothes!! Yes, it is very possible to dress very stylish in the latest trends and still be modest!! To this day, I still love decorating my home, and keeping up with the latest trends but still making it my own!! I love blending some of my older pieces with newer pieces. Lately I have really been leaning into the whole BOHO look, and I too, have been spending lots of money on Amazon!! 😉
I bought the replay brand cups after seeing them on your channel. Best sippy cups ever!! They may cost a little more, but it's well worth it. They have neutral colors which is nice. The biggest plus, months later they still don't leak!!! All other cups I have used leak after a month. I highly recommend.
Wishing you all the best! So busy! Great job on the bathroom. Love the mix of the large and small floral prints. So nice that you think of your mom and others while you shop!
I would suggest getting real wallpaper it is much easier to hang, the contact paper kind will stretch to much for walls. Also start in the far left corner & work your way around ! I’ve hung paper for 30+ yrs it gets easier also live the pattern but you do have to waste a lot to match it ! Looks great & should be ok even in the shower area!
A tip I learned when applying stuff like wallpaper an countertop contact paper is spray a little water or Windex on an it helps that you can move it around better. Then you smooth the water out with a squeegee.
My husband was listening in while scrolling on his phone. When Josh walked in with his issue about wallpaper, my carpenter husband laughed and said "He knows! That stuff is a hassle!!" 🤣😂 Girl, it turned out so cute!!!
Just a tip: Once Upon a Child is a National children’s consignment store and their prices are AMAZING! You can save so much money on kid’s clothes and then consign anything you no longer need. Especially since kids are always outgrowing their clothing, it’s an excellent, affordable option! We love our two local stores.
We live in a Mennonite area,, we love the bulk products our community has.. Our Trader Joe is a little over an hour, we go a couple times a year too.. Also closest IKEA is 2.5 hours, but same, not really my style, but fun to go when I am around one.
The paper pattern is gorgeous! That peel and stick stuff is light years different than traditional wallpaper that you wet to hang, or use paste. Those don’t stretch, bubble and wrinkle like the peel and stick. That’s essentially contact paper which is always a nightmare to work with! When you aren’t stressed by nesting, do give the time to try traditional paper somewhere. I think you’ll be very pleased with the results. Oh, voice of experience here, do not skip the step of putting a coat of sizing on the wall first, if you want to ever remove without wall damage. Yeah, it wasn’t pretty…. 😉
Hello Megan I enjoy watching your videos!! I noticed you had that yellow Bible Stories book for your kids! My mom had that exact book for my sister and I when we were growing up and we loved it! Hope your kids are enjoying it as much as we did, in fact there is a newer version of that book that I could send to you. If you’re interested please let me know 😊 Greetings from New York, Nataliah M
Love getting to see the store. Trader Joe's and Ikea are pretty much the best stores ever!! And I really like the book choices in the van. I had that Bible Story Book as a child and it was my sons favorite. Made me smile to see it.
I had a Pacifica and loved it! We only sold it because the value went crazy high and we got more than we paid for it 3 years ago! I’m currently in the market for a new one.
There's a large Mennonite community near me and a grocery store that caters to the Mennonite community. I purchase a lot of my baking supplies and spices there.
There are many companies with production delays because people were getting the boost in unemployment and didn’t want to work. Hopefully, that is done and people will get jobs. There are so many places hiring, even with sign on bonuses. I work in a grocery and our vendors are telling us that their warehouses are empty.
Literally EVERYONE is hiring! I don't mind paying taxes, but if my money is going to people that are perfectly capable of work and chose not to . . . . grrr!
I have never been to Trader Joes but I’ve been wanting to go for a long time now. I know exactly what recipe your talking about trying. The one with the feta, penne pasta, Gracie tomatoes and basil? My kids made it and it was so good! Always love your videos!!!
Just signed up for GreenChef! Going to try it out 🙂 the meals all look delicious i am so excited to try them and hopefully start saving some money on groceries and time and brain cells on meal planning. We seem to be buying so much food that is going to waste and its driving me crazy being so wasteful. Thank you so much for the great video as usual 😃😃
My son works at TJ's. He used to live with us and I got to try everything. Sooo good. Now he moved across the country and I don't go to TJ's often enough.
I completely adore Megan Fox videos; trust me- they are my "go-to" when my soul needs to decompress from a day of working with clients that unload their days of events and moods with me. The only teeny tiny thing that I could do without is when folks taste test food. But this is all videos for ME- I have an issue called Misophonia and this causes sounds and noises to be amplified in my head. And what do you know, chewing and swallowing food and beverages just about put me in an insane asylum. Hahaha! But, like I said that's an issue I have personally and it is the same with all videos in general- other than that Megan's videos are TLC for the soul. Keep up the good work, Megan and fam!
Green chef looks just like hello fresh packaging and all. We’ve been using hello fresh for almost a year and I love it so much. Cuts down the grocery store trips and no waste.
I'm not sure if you know this, but please check with your specific car seat specifications as to whether or not anything is allowed to sit under them. Depending on the car seat, having another barrier between them and the seat renders them less effective.
I have the same van! (but mine is red). That top compartment in the center console is perfect for stashing wipes where mom can grab one while driving and hand it to whoever needs one! (my youngest is 8, but we still keep wipes there!) I never wanted to have screens in my vehicle, but now with older kids it's been really nice.
This was a enjoyable video today😊 Cute dresses! You remind me SO much of my friend whom i miss hanging out with! I was born in PA and my friend was raised there 💜 love seeing the scenery and town.
Loved your video! Enjoy your new car. My 4 are adults and I always stocked my car like you do. I didn’t have the fancy car caddies, just had a large backpack filled with everything we might need that went everywhere with us. Love TJ’s. Didn’t know the peanut butter cups came in a tub! You are amazing. I love your energy. I have a friend going through a tough time and you inspired me to go to the church bookstore and look for an inspirational book for her. I only wish RUclips was a thing when my kids were little.
Many years ago, I wallpapered our bathroom. It looked great. Then winter came. We started taking hot steamy showers. Wall paper rolled off the walls.😂 I found out later you needed special glue for bathrooms. 😂 I think yours will stick. I've seen other people put it in their bathrooms and it worked fine.
I can totally relate to your Evonnie dress mishap!! The same thing happened to me, except I was sewing a dress for both my girls at the same time! They both had to be chucked bc the armscye were not right. Thank goodness it was $2 a yard fabric!
Haha loved Josh saying, "If I have to do more spackling.." because so like my husband when he told me to leave the spare bathroom alone but I was so over all the problems with it and he can home to having the wallpaper removed and half the drywall gone lol Love the rust color outfits for the photoshoot the best.
You are so amazing 👍love the dresses you chose and all you're great ideas and experiences- really helps my anxiety to watch and listen- so calming and grounding🙏 -especially love the PA SCENARY💜I live around Tulsa and we have a TJ'S - LOVE to buy my coffee beans there and a few other items I can't find elsewhere- otherwise I don't buy all the processed stuff🤷
I love Trader Joe's we have one 30 minutes away I recently got thier pumpkin gouda cheese and thier pumpkin Broiche bread it made delicious grilled cheese sandwiches with pumpkin bisque soup! It was a big hit! Just finished watching your whats in my diaper bag I'm getting so excited for ya'll cant wait to meet your beautiful little boy💙👶 God Bless Y'all 🙏 lots of love Megan 🤗💜🙏💛🌞💛🖐
We have pretty much the same van! The color name of ours is Molten Silver. It looks about the same as yours. Ours does have black leather interior that shows everything. 😱
Just a little tip with Lemonade. Make a simple syrup...mix your sugar with enough of the water to cover it well...and heat on your stove until it is clear. It's a quick step and I use 1/4 to 1/2 less sugar in lemonade or tea. Dissolving the sugar seems to make it go further....and makes me feel less guilty enjoying the drinks I love.
Josh sighs and walks out of the room! Lol 😆 every husband ever!
Cracked me up! lol
Literally every husband in every country lol

It literally took me ALL day to watch this 🤣 but I couldn’t give it up and move on until I finished the whole video 😍
i feel you 😂
I came over for this mommas house
Not pregnant but always like some cleaning/organizing motivation! Prayers for safe delivery and healthy baby! ♥️ You can do it momma!
Aww thanks!
“Nest With Me” - cutest title ever! My kids are teens, I am unable to have more, so it will be a long time before I am welcoming new babies. Thanks for sharing!
The fact that your babies are eating exactly what momma and dad are eating is parenting goals 🙌 👏 👌 go Meagan!! ❤
I love, love when you have long videos! Its disappointing when its a short one and its soon over!
Ha thanks! And someone just told me to keep it under 20 minutes. I guess I'll just keep doing whatever works for me. Can't please everyone!
@@MeganFoxUnlocked They can split it up themselves! They don't have to watch it all at one time!
You are such a beautiful young lady😊God bless you and your family❤and congratulations on your new bby to be. This brings back precious memories of when i was a young mama to be.

I like your comment and I double like your user name! 😉👍👍
I just love watching you. You have such a beautiful personality. Bless you. You always brighten the day.
It's the best time of year for Trader Joe's. Between now and Christmas, you'll find all kinds of special goodies.

Hi Megan🤗 love your videos always looking forward to Thursday to seeing a new one! Really liking your new ride!

I’m so happy I found you about two years ago. You have been my favorite RUclipsr ever since!! ❤️

Love the wall paper! You have such a talent for interior design. What a beautiful home!
Yep, I use the same system for my kids clothing. Works great, cuts time and momma happy! 😊
I like the brown outfits together the best.

Wow! making lemonade out of lemons. Good for you!
Christina at DIY Mommy uses removable wallpaper all the time and it looks much easier than traditional..... and removable, yay!

If you do it again try doing it like that. So excited for the baby. Lisa and you both plus Hannah from Hannah's happy home are all pregnant and expecting near the same time.
Learning curve is so true!when we got our jeep Cherokee I called the sales guy and told him I wanted to return it! It was a huge learning curve for this grandma! I send my sympathy to you! Loved the video!
A note of PDF patterns, you probably know already, but for everyone, you can't go by the sizes your child usually wears, but you have to go by body measurements. Same with adult sizes, usually you have to go by measurements, not your store bought sizes.
I have made that mistake myself, and it's so annoying. 😝
I've always papered walls it's hard carrying large pasted sheets to the wall, I didn't know you could get already pasted wallpaper.
Really enjoyed the video.
I LOVE wallpaper! It adds so much personality! A plain painted wall looks too boring for my taste. My grandmother taught me how to hang wallpaper when I was a newlywed, nearly 50 years ago. I love the look of your newly papered wall--however, it appears you applied contact paper, not actual wallpaper. Contact paper has a peel-off backing. Wallpaper, even the pre-pasted kind, has to be moistened in water to activate the paste. If you love the print and the "vibe" of wallpaper, don't give up! Just start small. You'll get the hang of it. I think it's WORTH IT! :-)
POINTER: If you have little bubbles in the paper that you can't flatten out, just puncture it with a needle to release the air. Then smooth it out. Sometimes, if the area is larger, you need to make a slice with a razor blade to allow the air to escape.
Keep up the good work, girl!
TY for the tips. I've not ever worked with wallpaper, but have many walls now that need upgrading and am considering a bit for a cpl. of walls as "accent". Now that I've read this, the air bubbles I've wondered about won't be a problem, & I won't have to watch a million 'hack" vids. to learn of these tricks. TC~
I used to live in the Poconos!!! East Stroudsburg to be exact ❤ the mountains and everything is gorgeous my parents had a house built in 2007...man that seems so long ago now! They live in FL now but I loved that house! The area isn't the best anymore just because of all the people that came from bad areas of NY and brought some bad things with them 😔 still a gorgeous area...I worked at the crossings premium outlets at a children's store Hartstrings which is closed now which is sad...I miss Pennsylvania so much!!
Thanks for sharing this video with me Megan! As I said last Sunday, you look absolutely radiant!! Come back for a visit once your new Little Man arrives! You know we all want to hold & welcome him to the family 🥰❤️🙏🏻❌⭕️👶🏻🧸🍼
My family recently moved to Lancaster County and found you on RUclips while searching things to do in the area. My daughter and I love your videos! Thanks for all your great content and tips for things to do in this area! We think we saw you at Fashion Cents a few weeks ago, so funny.
Probably! I was there!
so fun to watch the bulk food finds!! Love comparing other stores-our son and his wife own a bulk food store out here in Kansas, that they purchased from an amish couple who was actually my cousin! Wish we had a Trader Joe's out here-looks like a fun place!!
My town has bark creek pantry about 15 miles away and I just discovered the bulk spices! Whoa and I got 10 lbs of flour for 3 dollars !!! I was so happy !
Thank you for sharing your beautiful life with us, you are truly blessed! Praise be to God 🙏🏻
My brother worked at Winn-Dixie (southern chain of grocery stores), and the power went out one day for several hours. They had to throw away basically everything in the cooler sections of the store, so he brought home tons of food before it went into the dumpster. It was pretty cool!
Absolutely love Trader Joe's! It's is our regular shopping store of choice. Been shopping there for a decade now. We had one 12 mins away and would go weekly. We've since moved now 80 mins away and make a trip monthly. We mainly shop there and Costco. And since we've moved we go weekly to Walmart for the bare essentials that we can't otherwise stock up on. We also liked Aldi but now that is 40 mins from us so we go monthly there as well.
Your video are always such a blessing, Megan. God bless you and your family 🥰 p.s. I just found out I’m pregnant!!! You and your videos have prepared me 😅❤️
yay! no way! So exciting!
Yes, the 2 prints are great together...
I love Josh’s expressions😁
I grew up in Virginia with alot of Amish and Mennonites and the bulk/discount stores were so much fun to shop at! We lived in a small town an hour away from groccery stores so we would often go to town once or twice a month and then go to small Mennonite shops that were closer and they always sold those maple leaf cookies so they are a must have fall item for me! Before I went kosher the lucky charms marshmallows from sharp shopper was the coolest thing ever and my mom would buy a big bag for us kids every now and then 🤗 Such good memories!
11:57 if you dissolve the sugar in a little warm water first (aka a “simple syrup”) it’ll incorporate much better and be less grainy when you drink it 🍋❤️ Looks yummy and refreshing!
Great tip!
When you travel you'll really love the space in the van!! Cute car name! I call mine Ruby Su because it's a Ruby Subaru lol.
We call our Subaru “Pearl” because she’s pearl green 😊
I made an apron for my daughter. Fit for about a month but I didn’t make it so that the top can be adjusted…anyway her head outgrew the apron. I am either going to keep the apron as memorabilia or give it away!
I love watching your videos and how you make your clothes! You are so talented!
Congradulations on your new mini van ! so beautiful!
Peel and stick wall paper is a great invention. I wall papered many walls with the old fashioned stuff.
I am so OCD when it comes to folding my clothes!! My drawers and my hanging clothes are very organized!! My husband just laughs when he watches me fold my clothes because I am so particular!! I hate this over-used phrase but I am going to use it: "You do you and I'll do me"!! We all do what works for us, and there is no right or wrong way!! As a woman who is in a more advanced season of my life, I have found that I have changed the way I do certain things as my circumstances have changed. Megan, can I just say that as a Christian woman of faith myself (I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints), I love your video's!! I just found you a few weeks ago and I am hooked on watching your videos!! My children are all in the same stage of life as you are. You remind me so much of my own daughter, who has a daughter who just turned 5, and a 2 1/2 year old son, and they are starting to think about baby #3. All of my children married people within our Church and they are all raising their children in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Your life style is not that much different than ours. We, too believe in dressing modest!! We love fashion and clothes!! Yes, it is very possible to dress very stylish in the latest trends and still be modest!! To this day, I still love decorating my home, and keeping up with the latest trends but still making it my own!! I love blending some of my older pieces with newer pieces. Lately I have really been leaning into the whole BOHO look, and I too, have been spending lots of money on Amazon!! 😉
Megan you inspire me so much to be a better mother and homemaker. I just don’t know where you get all this energy!!!
I bought the replay brand cups after seeing them on your channel. Best sippy cups ever!! They may cost a little more, but it's well worth it. They have neutral colors which is nice. The biggest plus, months later they still don't leak!!! All other cups I have used leak after a month. I highly recommend.
Wishing you all the best! So busy! Great job on the bathroom. Love the mix of the large and small floral prints. So nice that you think of your mom and others while you shop!
I would suggest getting real wallpaper it is much easier to hang, the contact paper kind will stretch to much for walls. Also start in the far left corner & work your way around ! I’ve hung paper for 30+ yrs it gets easier also live the pattern but you do have to waste a lot to match it ! Looks great & should be ok even in the shower area!
A tip I learned when applying stuff like wallpaper an countertop contact paper is spray a little water or Windex on an it helps that you can move it around better. Then you smooth the water out with a squeegee.
We just started a Bible study in this building where I live. We're going through the parables.
I’m always so bummed when your videos end. 😔
My husband was listening in while scrolling on his phone. When Josh walked in with his issue about wallpaper, my carpenter husband laughed and said "He knows! That stuff is a hassle!!" 🤣😂 Girl, it turned out so cute!!!
Another inspiring great video...I always want to get up and get busy after all your video's 😊 Thank you so much Megan....❤🤗🙏🎃🍁🐿🍂🌾🖐
Just a tip: Once Upon a Child is a National children’s consignment store and their prices are AMAZING! You can save so much money on kid’s clothes and then consign anything you no longer need. Especially since kids are always outgrowing their clothing, it’s an excellent, affordable option! We love our two local stores.
We live in a Mennonite area,, we love the bulk products our community has.. Our Trader Joe is a little over an hour, we go a couple times a year too.. Also closest IKEA is 2.5 hours, but same, not really my style, but fun to go when I am around one.
The paper pattern is gorgeous! That peel and stick stuff is light years different than traditional wallpaper that you wet to hang, or use paste. Those don’t stretch, bubble and wrinkle like the peel and stick. That’s essentially contact paper which is always a nightmare to work with! When you aren’t stressed by nesting, do give the time to try traditional paper somewhere. I think you’ll be very pleased with the results. Oh, voice of experience here, do not skip the step of putting a coat of sizing on the wall first, if you want to ever remove without wall damage. Yeah, it wasn’t pretty…. 😉
Hello Megan I enjoy watching your videos!! I noticed you had that yellow Bible Stories book for your kids! My mom had that exact book for my sister and I when we were growing up and we loved it! Hope your kids are enjoying it as much as we did, in fact there is a newer version of that book that I could send to you. If you’re interested please let me know 😊
Greetings from New York,
Nataliah M
They have a great website as well. Love the kids singing and the white board animations, plus lots of other things
Love getting to see the store. Trader Joe's and Ikea are pretty much the best stores ever!! And I really like the book choices in the van. I had that Bible Story Book as a child and it was my sons favorite. Made me smile to see it.
That wallpaper looks ahhhhhhhmazing!
Megan your a good sport about Josh's remark about the wall paper. I like your idea and the wall paper -- keep goin' 😂
Thank you! Will do!
So talented - 34 weeks pregnant & wallpapering - it turned out so nice too! Love from Scotland x
I had a Pacifica and loved it! We only sold it because the value went crazy high and we got more than we paid for it 3 years ago! I’m currently in the market for a new one.
There's a large Mennonite community near me and a grocery store that caters to the Mennonite community. I purchase a lot of my baking supplies and spices there.
This was fun to watch. I put it on while I ate my lunch and wrote a couple of notes. Thank you so much for sharing your day.
Loved this video❤️😍especially the Trader Joe haul! Ha! The wallpapering too😜
There are many companies with production delays because people were getting the boost in unemployment and didn’t want to work. Hopefully, that is done and people will get jobs. There are so many places hiring, even with sign on bonuses. I work in a grocery and our vendors are telling us that their warehouses are empty.
Literally EVERYONE is hiring! I don't mind paying taxes, but if my money is going to people that are perfectly capable of work and chose not to . . . . grrr!
I have never been to Trader Joes but I’ve been wanting to go for a long time now. I know exactly what recipe your talking about trying. The one with the feta, penne pasta, Gracie tomatoes and basil? My kids made it and it was so good! Always love your videos!!!
Just signed up for GreenChef! Going to try it out 🙂 the meals all look delicious i am so excited to try them and hopefully start saving some money on groceries and time and brain cells on meal planning. We seem to be buying so much food that is going to waste and its driving me crazy being so wasteful. Thank you so much for the great video as usual 😃😃
My son works at TJ's. He used to live with us and I got to try everything. Sooo good. Now he moved across the country and I don't go to TJ's often enough.
The wallpaper looks fantastic!
I completely adore Megan Fox videos; trust me- they are my "go-to" when my soul needs to decompress from a day of working with clients that unload their days of events and moods with me. The only teeny tiny thing that I could do without is when folks taste test food. But this is all videos for ME- I have an issue called Misophonia and this causes sounds and noises to be amplified in my head. And what do you know, chewing and swallowing food and beverages just about put me in an insane asylum. Hahaha! But, like I said that's an issue I have personally and it is the same with all videos in general- other than that Megan's videos are TLC for the soul. Keep up the good work, Megan and fam!
Megan loved this video ... you made me laugh putting up wallpaper ... Good for you !!!
I’m in CA and we have Trader Joe’s everywhere and sprouts and Whole Foods. I love their beauty sections as well.
Love your videos, you are so fun. I love your wallpaper!!
Green chef looks just like hello fresh packaging and all. We’ve been using hello fresh for almost a year and I love it so much. Cuts down the grocery store trips and no waste.
Yes they are the same company now!
My husband and I last hung wallpaper together in the 80's. The fact that our marriage survived that day is still amazing to me. Never again! lol
Experation dates are for the store. Almost all, if not all, "outdated food" is good for at least a year after that date.
Really!? I knew canned stuff was that way. But salad dressing?????????????????
You look amazing for 34 weeks!! Always look forward to your Thursday vlogs!! Thanks Megan!
I'm not sure if you know this, but please check with your specific car seat specifications as to whether or not anything is allowed to sit under them. Depending on the car seat, having another barrier between them and the seat renders them less effective.
I have the same van! (but mine is red). That top compartment in the center console is perfect for stashing wipes where mom can grab one while driving and hand it to whoever needs one! (my youngest is 8, but we still keep wipes there!) I never wanted to have screens in my vehicle, but now with older kids it's been really nice.
Great tip!
This was a enjoyable video today😊
Cute dresses! You remind me SO much of my friend whom i miss hanging out with! I was born in PA and my friend was raised there 💜 love seeing the scenery and town.
Loved your video! Enjoy your new car. My 4 are adults and I always stocked my car like you do. I didn’t have the fancy car caddies, just had a large backpack filled with everything we might need that went everywhere with us. Love TJ’s. Didn’t know the peanut butter cups came in a tub! You are amazing. I love your energy. I have a friend going through a tough time and you inspired me to go to the church bookstore and look for an inspirational book for her. I only wish RUclips was a thing when my kids were little.
I think you look beautiful! You are bringing a new life into the world, what a miracle! ♥️
Oh my, my husband would be so happy for that giant container of lucky Charms marshmallows 🙉
Many years ago, I wallpapered our bathroom. It looked great. Then winter came. We started taking hot steamy showers. Wall paper rolled off the walls.😂 I found out later you needed special glue for bathrooms. 😂
I think yours will stick. I've seen other people put it in their bathrooms and it worked fine.
I can totally relate to your Evonnie dress mishap!! The same thing happened to me, except I was sewing a dress for both my girls at the same time! They both had to be chucked bc the armscye were not right. Thank goodness it was $2 a yard fabric!
Haha loved Josh saying, "If I have to do more spackling.." because so like my husband when he told me to leave the spare bathroom alone but I was so over all the problems with it and he can home to having the wallpaper removed and half the drywall gone lol
Love the rust color outfits for the photoshoot the best.
You are so amazing 👍love the dresses you chose and all you're great ideas and experiences- really helps my anxiety to watch and listen- so calming and grounding🙏 -especially love the PA SCENARY💜I live around Tulsa and we have a TJ'S - LOVE to buy my coffee beans there and a few other items I can't find elsewhere- otherwise I don't buy all the processed stuff🤷
I love Trader Joe's we have one 30 minutes away I recently got thier pumpkin gouda cheese and thier pumpkin Broiche bread it made delicious grilled cheese sandwiches with pumpkin bisque soup! It was a big hit! Just finished watching your whats in my diaper bag I'm getting so excited for ya'll cant wait to meet your beautiful little boy💙👶 God Bless Y'all 🙏 lots of love Megan 🤗💜🙏💛🌞💛🖐
We have pretty much the same van! The color name of ours is Molten Silver. It looks about the same as yours. Ours does have black leather interior that shows everything. 😱
