I agree with you to watch what you say around your kids and keeping body image positive. My daughter was chubby when she was younger, but out grew it as a teenager. My focus and words was around being active and healthy. Nothing about dieting or her weight. She is now in her 30's and said she never realized she was chubby until she was an adult and looking back at pictures when she was a kid.
Wow. You're a good mom.
Aww how nice
I have always made a point to run and greet my husband with a hug when he gets home from work. Ive been doing this for the 5 years we've been married and I hope to continue it forever!
This winter I did a major capsule wardrobe. A company called wool& has a 100 day challenge. You wear a merino wool dress for 100 days and they give you $100 store credit. It was so soft and fun to style. I LOVED not having to think about what to put on in the morning.
Also we love to listen to audio books or Christian podcasts in the car so we can have fun conversation!
I have 4 kids ( now young adults) and I always kept a backpack with a change of clothes,sandals, beach towel , dry snacks and bottles of water. Saved us so many times. We call our car a “private dining car” cause my kids ate in the car often.
Love this
I made a summer bucket list with my children. If they keep up with their daily chore chart we do something off the bucket list once a week. It keeps them motivated to get their work done and it helps me make time to do fun things with them.
I started buying the t shirt style crop tops from Target to layer over my dresses when I want to change the look or when I’m pregnant:) I don’t wear crop tops alone but they are the best for layering.
I used to have no food in the van until we moved where we have to drive a 45 min to an hour drive to things so food has been happening and it is way harder to keep the van clean. There are just some drives that need food😊
Thanks for the encouragement to not let ourselves run wild with negative self talk. That’s been something I’ve had to work with for years. In regard to talking negatively about yourself to your husband, I once heard that is criticizing his choice of the woman he picked to be his wife. I know, duh, but it puts it in a different perspective.
Wow, that's a weird thought. So true.
Megan, I absolutely love that you post this type of content. Making a summer list ensures we enjoy the best of the season. I love having little goals throughout my summer. I’m going to post a list on the fridge so the kids can cross it off as we go. You are awesome! Blessings to everyone who reads this ❤
Thanks and blessings to you as well!
I'm a list gal too!
🥰💕
Love this!! My kiddos are 6, 4, and 1 and love the reminder that this is the only summer I will have with them at these ages! Looking forward to all of the simple joys of summer- playing outside, eating watermelon and popsicles, going to the pool, etc! Thanks for sharing! 😍
Dear Megan & Josh. So nice meeting you both in real life and thank you so much for the nice treat. Really appreciate that you took the time to speak to me, despite you both working. I came into all this with a keen interest in the Mennonite/Amish lifestyle and culture. Yet, having been to Lancaster/Ephrata twice by now, I learned too also appreciate the scenery (spend an hour just watching an Amish guy working on his field🙂), the food and not the least, the authentic warmth and friendliness from the locals. So my fellow-subscribers: make sure to visit the September Farm incl. Josh’s Donut and Pretzel Truck. Do not worry Megan - everything will turn out just fine. Trust me. Trust Josh. Until next time, Villum
It was amazing to meet a traveler from afar. Thanks for saying hi!
Hi Megan, I enjoy watching your blogs so much. I will say I, too, gave my children chores to do starting at a very young age. I have three girls and one boy. They ALL participated in the rotation of dusting, sweeping, laundry, washing dishes, etc. The chores for these duties were minimal as they were young but increased in difficulty as they grew. My children are all grown, two are married, and they ALL keep a spotlessly clean house, especially my son! Now that grandchildren are in the picture, their homes are "lived" in but clean 😉😊 You can never start too young in teaching domestic responsibilities! Great job, Momma! 🥰
It's the best way to teach them, I know lot's of high schoolers that do nothing and even young adults have their mums do everything.
First, I love the graphics you used with today’s video! Second, the top or dress you have on is so cute on you! The colors are perfect! Third, I need to stop and think about what goals I might have for the summer. You’ve given me food for thought. I hope your summer is blessed!
I don't allow food in my van unless we are on a long road trip. We eat before we leave or stop and eat somewhere. I like the idea of the car organizer! I was very chubby and inactive as a kid and want to make sure I talk to my kids about being healthy and strong instead of looking in the mirror and talking about weight. Great video!
We wrap dinners in foil for camping. We can throw on the coals from the fire. Like breakfast burritos and hobo dinners. Sandwiches in coolers. Summer sausage, crackers, and cheese.
My summer is going to consist of spending lots of time doing fun little outings with my toddler before baby #2 arrives in September. 🥰 and also doing as much decluttering and organizing as possible before baby comes!
This was one of your best videos ever! And, although my 5 children are all grown up with children of their own, when we get together at this time of the year, someone always brings up 'remember that summer when we...' and everyone smiles and nods. It may have been a simple picnic or a day at the county fair or a museum, but everyone cherishes those days. You are doing great, Megan, and I'm sure your children will be productive members of society.
Megan, this was a great video! I have followed you since you were pregnant with Fletcher, so it’s been a while. I love how you are so inclusive of people who are not Mennonite. It is a wonderful quality that you have.
I have followed you since your first son was 2.
Ever since you inspired my homemaking.
I'm not sure of my Summer goals, this is a lot of motivation to have some real goals I achieve in a seasons.
Love the goal for greeting your husband, gives you the few minutes to show each other that you are excited to see each other,
Also the goal to be done with work by supper, whatever is left you can do the next day. Now it’s family time!
Keeping my kitchen table clutter free and have fresh flowers on said table❤
Everybody loves warm Summer days! Making memories with family / friends and it's cool you make vids and all because it's like an archive of those awesome moments. 📸🌱🌸☀️
I love that about TH-cam! So many memories to relive.
“Frugal but frequent family fun” WOW this was exactly the inspiration I needed! I’m with you!!
I would set a timer for the children (10-15 minutes) to help with chores! We could get a lot done in 15 minutes!!
Our rule for keeping the van clean is that whatever you bring in the van you take back into the house! ie: books, toys, blankets etc.
Keeping our van clean with 4 kids is a constant challenge for us! 😳
Thanks for this video! It is a great reminder to be intentional with this season!
Such an encouraging video! My one thing for the summer is spending more time in the word and with Jesus !Who blesses us with all good things!Including summer!😊
I love that you dress for Evonne!❤ My little girl is four and I will let her pick out my clothes, always sparkly and pink and dresses and she’ll do my hair, it’s just the best 😊 And I’m totally with you on the leather seats and snacks. I’ve tried no snacks, it didn’t last.
This summer, I’m intentionally teaching my kids chores as well. They help here and there but I’d like it to become more routine.
I would like to have 4 healthy habits for each day of the summer. 1 - get out and have some type of physical activity, a walk or weights, just something. 2. Read a chapter in my bible everyday. 3. Do some house organization each day - even if it's just cleaning a desk or organizing a shelf, and 4. working on a stitching project everyday - which is my favorite hobby and a great stress releaser.
Oh man, I feel the camping grocery budget SO DEEPLY. I think it’s because things we buy for camping, are not our normal purchases. Like, I don’t buy things to make s’mores every week! 😅 Or hot dog buns or snacks like we do when we go camping. I’m def the fun mom when we go camping vs at home full crunchy mom mode 😂😂😂
That definitely has something to do with it. All the fun sauces and snacks.
I love the eating lunch outside idea ❤ especially a cold cuts lunch. I feel like I am already in a capsule wardrobe in my maternity clothes 😂
If you want to be better at wearing sunglasses, buy several pairs and keep them in the places you use the most. That way you don’t have to keep track of moving them from one place to the next. I keep a pair in the house, both of our cars, and in the fall I will put a pair on my school bus since I’m a school bus driver.😎
My boyfriend and I are planning to take a trip to Pennsylvania, specifically Lancaster County for all the yummy homemade goods and foods nearby! Love hearing about/seeing the local produce and the amish ladies with their eggs.... I go hiking in Canada and I try to do the same if we pass by farms on our way! :) such a feel good way to spend money because you know it's directly helping a family!
Hope you enjoy your trip!
Evonnie watching you try on clothes was so adorable and patient. 💜The summer entertainment ideas are great and anything that saves cleanup...golden.💯💜
Collars 😅 truly what goes around comes around. They are super cute ❤
You’re my new favorite TH-camr ❤ Love all your videos! Thanks for taking the time to share them with us 😊
Not only is decluttering important but once you have freed your space of unnecessary stuff it’s important to evaluate every single thing someone gives you going forward. They mean well but it isn’t going to be used get rid of it. Things can become unruly again quickly.
June- August, wow that is brilliant! For schools in UK your summer break starts at the end of July (26th ish) then you go back in the first few days of September! University is a little different but that is how schools work. xx
In Ireland primary school get July and August off. Secondary school get June, July and August! State exams are held In june.
@@lolosrainydaysHello from Derry 🙏❤️🇮🇪
I totally get the fishing for compliments thing😆 I have *never* cared what anyone thinks of my appearance - like, ever… except for my husband😂 He knows that every morning when I come downstairs after getting dressed & doing my hair and makeup that I just NEED a quick “You look beautiful!” 😆😆😆
Living in Florida, the best time to walk is early in the morning, that is my one thing I want to do. Another big thing is to drink lots more water. So many more things but that is a start.
I have 6 kids. Im adding in organization to our van too and I've started keeping grocery bags in the van to make cleaning it out regularly easier because I can fill the bag & go. No food in the van is such a hard rule when you're on the go and kids are always hungry!
I think to remember to grab a little time for yourself each day.
Megan I love all your ideas about summer time. We had 2 sons who are now grown with families of their own. As they were growing up I always looked forward to the summer break and change of routines. Then I would always be ready for the school year to start and get back to a routine. I worked full time outside of the home but always took about 3 weeks where I took vacation time and only worked in the mornings. We did a lot of outdoor activities in the afternoons. I agree with your comment about being careful about what is said around children. Yes they are listening. I grew up hearing my mother say that her mother (my grandmother) hated her picture taken. And my mother always said, oh I hate my picture to be taken. Thus I very much dislike my picture to be taken. Unfortunately there are very very few photos of my late grandmother. Thankfully we have a lot of photos of my mother. I however still do not like my picture to be taken. I now try very hard to have my photo taken with my grandchildren so they will have more photos of me when I am gone. I love your energy and ways of thinking about being intentional. Thank you for sharing your summer ideas!! Have a great summer!!
I am a grandparent. That said not kids at home but my grandkids know that there is no food it drink in the vehicle unless it is water! It’s the only way to keep the food mess out of the vehicles! (In my opinion) 😁
Being outside and being extremely active! Almost everyday! 12000-15,000 steps a day! Or more! Hopefully more! Focus on healthy nutrition… and keeping up the house…
I mix two parts coconut water with one part orange juice over ice and it is shockingly delicious for a summer mom treat!
awesome video! I love the idea of a capsule wardrobe for summer. It was so sweet with your little one watching you try on dresses. Daughters are so special
I love adding sparkling water to juices to stretch them further and add a little fizz!
On the sunglasses topic, about 2 years ago I decided that I want to spend a little bit more money on my sunglasses. I bought a pair of polarized sunglasses versus the $2 pairs that I always lost since I felt they did not provide much protection anyway. I live in South Africa and some of our pharmacies and clothing stores will sell polarized sunglasses. They are still inexpensive. I've found myself taking care of them a lot more, always keeping them in their case and I have not lost them. If you have 10 chapsticks, you tend to end up with none, whereas if you have 1, you keep track of it better...
Each to their own :)
Whatever we take to the car with us or pick up along the way comes out when we get home. I remind them to gather all of their things when we pull in, encourage multiple trips if necessary, and we get it done. I can’t stand a messy car!
I’m planning to add vacuuming and wiping down the surfaces of the car to our “together chore” rotation as well.
I love each and every one of these. I feel called up higher & really encouraged to make some of my own
I think people eat more when camping because it tends to be a very active weekend. That’s what I always thought.
Our last is graduating in 3 weeks! But we have wonderful memories of library reading plans, swimming with friends and blanket forts when it was extra hot or rainy.
Oh man. Im so grateful for the cheese crisp recipe! You can buy those at the store and theyre like $5 for 4 oz. 🙄
“While being the fashionista I want to be…in my head” 😂 Same
I hear you!
This Summer I want to go swimming at least once a week to get my kids comfortable in the water and one “outing” a week - whether it is grabbing an icecream cone, going to a park, the lake or the zoo, etc. two under two makes these things difficult! So trying to be really intentional about making fun memories while my husband can be home with us ❤
Evonnie is the absolute cutest and looks like she is on the front row of New York Fashion week at around min 15.
We love outdoor breakfasts ❤
Make memories w your children. Before you know it ...they are grown. Enjoy the Summer time !! 💖💙💙
Do a simple first aid kit, feminine hygiene kit, and a pocket knife. All for just in case. Love that you have an emergency kit just like me in my van. ❤
Love how Ivonnies folding her hands looking at you try on dresses. Sooo sweet ❤
a simple goal for me is to change out to new placemats for summer season and keep pretty orchids on my dining table!
I love your goals! I would love to incorporate a few of these my self. I want to focus on time with my kids creating conversations and teaching them more. I love how you mentioned greeting your husband! It's something I want to be better about and my husband says it makes him feel loved and everything worth it when we greet him at the door.
I have a chore chart for my 4 ,5 ,and 8 yr Olds. It's things that need to be done each day,such as vacuum, clean up thier bedroom, playroom, feeds rabbits and kittens,and set table,as well as in the evening another round of chores set table,check on animals and pick up everything in the yard. They take turns each day to be the first to choose jobs and well done jobs without complaining get paid each Friday. So far it's worked beautifully, and is teaching them about money as well.
We have a car bin for summer too, but ours also includes bandaids, bug spray, jackets, and baby wipes.
The beginning of summer vacation will be uniform buying for the kids because all 8 of them are enrolled in schools with uniforms. 6 of them are enrolled in private Catholic schools.
My goals for the summer is to teach cursive handwriting to the kids who haven't fully gotten the hang of it yet. Also, to help my littles with learning to read. I take the summer months for summer school and for summer catechism class at our church. I will also work on sewing for myself. I tend to like Katie's mercantile for the girls. They have very reasonable prices for well made modest dresses.
I live in Austin. We have a lot of brick and mortar restaurants. The problem is that there are food trucks that are encouraged to park. The food truck are raking it in. Your husband is smart.
Megan, you are a big inspiration for me and for another mom's out there... thank you so much for your work..and may God bless you ❤❤❤❤
Dads always say no snacks in the van but they aren't dealing with hangry kids!!! My husband said the same thing, but he isn't with them running around all day.
Love your dress, Reminds me of a vintage summer look.
I want to
•Also make fruits & veggies a priority in our diet
•lose this extra baby weight
•be successful in my little garden
•spend time outside
•establish a regular routine with my 4 month old
I'm so inspired when I get a glimpse into your goals/ideals! I hope you never stop creating videos🥰
I love to watch this type of content, and it's fun to create too!
We 100% have always ate and will always eat when needed in the car. Life gets too busy!
I feel so heard!
We want to have more things outside without electronics and we said we want to explore our city this summer and be tourists
Thanks for this episode. I have some goals for the Summer, but "setting your intentions" adds a spiritually reflective component. My life is very different, so goals and intentions are rather different, so I won't write it out here, but as I learn to be in my slightly disabled body, adapting to that is primary.
My husband always says no food in the van too, but it never lasts long. It's just too hard with young kids.
I too love a good manly hug …. Makes my heart melt!
My husband and I both got new vehicles last summer. He made the rule of no food in them to preserve their newness.. that lasted only about a month. Not because they didn’t listen but because my husband couldn’t stick to it himself 🤣 so little by little the rule got bent until it went out the window all together! Now I just try to clean them regularly.
I agree with you about your summer evenings. I live in Florida and we either can be outside in the early mornings or the evenings but in between is way too hot & sticky. So we do outside chores in the mornings and we like to keep our evenings to do things we enjoy doing together. PS - love your dress.
Oh wow, I didn’t realize how close Lancaster is to me! I camped near there last year. We definitely are fortunate to live around so much produce! I hope you guys have an amazing summer!💕🌸
Have some scheduled learning is my goal
I want to make bagels from strategic and learn how to make French press coffee. Random but I’m excited to try them both! I’m a high school teachers and I have 14 schools days left! Then a nice summer to relax
Thanks for the video! It’s always a pleasure! Happy Summer to you all!
Megan have you always been how you come across on your videos?
I wish I had a personality like yours.
We have the same issue with the exploding budget on camping weekends! I've considered ditching the paper and plastic wear (with the exception of paper towels) and bring real plates and everything. There's always some dishes anyways, it's not really that much more work to wash a few plates and forks while you're at it. That should cut back on some cost 🤷 Haven't actually tested it out though 😅
-Greta L
I don't camp but I love camp fires and I am finding the paper is soo expensive! I've considering spending some money on cute plastic or melamine so it is a one time cost.
I was shocked when she said camping was expensive because around here it's one of the cheapest vacations possible -- we always bring a set of dishes and a little wash basin, wear our day to day clothes, reuse the same sleeping mat and sleeping bags we've had forever, and meal plan in advance so we are only bringing the food we need. I find it's pretty easy to do a quick rinse of plates and we also get creative with food that doesn't require much to prep and eat. Hope that helps!
I’m big on using hats in summer to avoid squinting!
This was great. I got some good ideas from you. You are right! Enjoy, don't stress so much if something doesn't get done. It will be there the next day still waiting. Lol. Great video Megan.
Megan, you are so funny, ”Spreading manure on the fields” in Lancaster County it’s a must! I hope to visit September Farm soon. I’m a couple of counties East of you so I plan my route and day around all the stops I like to make. I hope you’ll do more arts and crafts with the children this summer and display them! God Bless
Thanks for recommending the all trails app, Didn't know about it and really trying to be more active !!
Yes to the negative self talk. I agree it affects the kids. Confidence is sexy ;)
A great video! So many wise hints to use. I will definitely watch this video again and absorb this information.
Thank you very interesting ,Im planning on trying new thing to x
I always enjoy your videos Megan❤. You are such a sweet mama that loves the Lord & life 🙏🏻🙌🏼. I’ve been married 23.5 years & I always like to greet my husband when he gets home🥰. He still melts my heart😍. & we have 6 children ages 10,12,14,16,17,20. 5 boys & 1 girl. I love every stage & age they are in. Teenagers are awesome🎊👏🏻. It’s a party in my home daily 😂. You were saying about spending more money camping ….yes sister I agree! You shared a clip of the white rocks…convoy (I forgot name) but that’s a favorite trail of mine if it’s the Lancaster North Rail Trail. We just went there for Mothers Day & had such a blessed day! Biked 16 miles 🚴🏼♂️🚴🏻♀️. Our family is all about adventures (biking, camping, walks, parks, etc). We don’t like missing church when we go camping but it’s been a refreshing gift to our family to make such amazing memories together since our first baby was born 20 years ago. God is good & I’m very thankful!! You have a beautiful family!!!! I love your channel & Lynnette Yoders & The Mennonite Mom, brings back so many wonderful memories with our Mennonite family roots…very thankful for how close our family, friends are. It’s something that I can’t explain but have always appreciated marrying into my husbands mennonite heritage. I love love love your outfits👗 love your style! I hope to wear more dresses as I shed more weight:). I wear skirts at home a lot with an old navy v neck T. I miss jean skirts. Thanks so much for sharing Megan, Blessings from Gettysburg😁 ~Shannon..
I wanted to add I love seeing you do your videos…I really want to start sharing on my channel again..for some reason the “legalism” in the church (I think it’s in my head from many years ago 😉🤦🏻♀️) has held me back bc I’m a “woman”. It’s been something I have had to work through. Hard to explain in a post but when I started dating my now husband we were 16 & I started going to his then mennonite church that women did serve & do things but I felt like I had to suppress my gifts at that first church…then we switched to another mennonite church that totally accepted us & we’ve led youth group, home groups etc …but there was still this legalism…. We served at a different church then for a season that was not mennonite & the Lord opened up so many doors for me a daughter of the King to thrive in…I became a certified Christian Life Coach, led women’s ministries, my husband & I led marriage classes. It was amazing! But we left there and went back to our old church because that’s where Family & friends are…we had missed real relationships!!! Been back almost 4 years & I have not been asked to serve & I have not felt led to serve anywhere yet…but I believe the Lord has something for me to share hope, inspiration with women…and I believe you tube is a great place, I just have frozen up & not have been consistent to post. All this to say you inspire me to use my gifts here on my channel…I’ve been out of creating video content so long I am not sure I remember it all but I do love being a creative. I pray whatever is holding me back that the Lord helps me break through that🙏🏻🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼. His timing is everything & I know it’s on my heart but I’ve kept putting it off. Not even sure you or anyone sees this but Lord I know you know our hearts ❤ & with Christ all things are possible & if/when Jesus lays something on our heart to do I do believe we are to step out even when it’s the unknown. We can trust God will lead the way.
Blessings, Shannon Sollenberger
I loved this video!! Great ideas for the summer!
You're videos are beautifully exited!
Great list!! Happy Summer 😎
About the dirty van, an essential for me to have in every car is a small hand broom. I can only vaccuum the car every so often, so every time I'm waiting for someone to get to the car or waiting in the car while someone goes in the store, I will open both back doors and do a quick sweep of the carpets. Of course, pick up any plastics, paper or other similar trash but sweep out the crumbs. It's crazy, the difference that little broom makes in my stress levels. Also, a few ideas for things to keep in the car: hand sanitizer or alcohol wipes, napkins in the glove box(for drink spills, dirty noses, etc), a bag between the front seats for trash, water bottle to make your own wet wipes if needed, a small blanket, a jacket for you or kids can use in a pinch, a couple hats for unexpectedly cold trips, a non-melting deodorant, plastic forks, straw and spoons.
Omg I am so going to try those cheese crisps! So easy!!
Just watched the intro. Can't wait to watch! Excited for some new ideas for my summer routine. It's about to get chaotic! (In a good way) Tomorrow is the last day of school for my kiddos!
Tomorrow for us too!
Camping food does add up! I can’t put my finger on it either. Lol.
Love this video. ❤
We don’t ever let kids eat in the car ;) At home, eating is only at the table ❤
"I'm raising a family not an Instagram feed." The memories are made in the everyday moments, not in the Instagram photos. 😅
yes yes yes!!!
Hey Megan! 💕 I’m not a Mennonite, but I am a Christian like you so I actually love how modest and feminine dresses and skirts are, but I’m a lot more used to wearing athletic shorts every summer. I’m going to be 22 this year, and as I’m getting older and planning to become a Mama soon I just feel like I’m not liking how immodest Nike shorts feel on me, especially with a more curvy and bigger figure on my lower half. Any tips on how to start incorporating more skirts and dresses into my daily wardrobe even though it feels really unnatural and uncomfortable to do that on super hot and muggy days above 80 degrees + days when I’m doing super gross work like deep cleaning the bathroom or kitchen or doing yard work? I find it so hard to wear dresses and skirts when it comes to things like that, I think my biggest roadblock is the heat… 😬 But I’ve noticed you wear them ALL THE TIME! So maybe there’s ways to beat the heat in dresses and skirts? ☺️
Excited to see the summer capsule wardrobe you put together!
I showed it in this video. Did you see it?
